Metal Forgings
What are Metal Forgings?
Metal forgings are high-strength components created through the process of shaping metal using localized compressive forces. This forging process involves hammering, pressing, or rolling metal to achieve a desired shape with superior mechanical properties. Unlike other manufacturing methods, metal forgings undergo plastic deformation at molecular level, resulting in refined grain structure that follows the component’s contours, significantly enhancing its strength, toughness, and reliability.
The forging process transforms raw metal billets into precision components with excellent structural integrity, making them ideal for critical applications where failure is not an option.
