1. Die Forging
by: Rox A. Liberato

2.  Die Forging is a manufacturing
process involving the shaping of metal using
localized compressive forces. Forging is often
classified according to the temperature at
which it is performed: "cold", "warm", or "hot"
forging. Forged parts can range in weight
from less than a kilogram to 580 metric tons.
Forged parts usually require further
processing to achieve a finished part.

3.  Forging can produce a piece that is stronger
than an equivalent cast or machined part. As
the metal is shaped during the forging
process, its internal grain deforms to follow
the general shape of the part. As a result, the
grain is continuous throughout the part,
giving rise to a piece with improved strength
characteristics.

4.  Open die forging
 Close Die forging

5.  involves the shaping of heated metal parts
between a top die attached to a ram and a
bottom die attached to a hammer anvil or
press bed. Metal parts are worked above their
re crystallization temperatures-ranging from
1900°F to 2400°F for steel-and gradually
shaped into the desired configuration
through the skillful hammering or pressing of
the work piece.

6.  is the forming of complex-shaped parts from
a metal semi-product between two engraved
tools (dies) by hammering or pressing with a
closed-die forging press.

8.  The first stage is for us to develop materials
to meet your technical specifications. Thanks
to the world renowned expertise of our
metallurgists, production processes are then
developed, modeled and optimized in order
to ensure their reliability and reproducibility.

9.  Heat treatment involves changing the
structure of a part through predetermined
heating and cooling cycles in order to
improve mechanical properties such as
hardness, yield strength, etc.

10.  In order to obtain the material properties
required for your particular application, the
industrial phase involves a rigorous (air or
vacuum) melting process followed by re
melting of special steels, alloys or super alloy
s. Our extensive catalogue comprises some
350 grades.

11.  Machining is a family of manufacturing
processes that involve forming the shape of
metallurgical products (bars, parts, etc.) by
removing material using cutting equipment.

12.  Quality controls are performed throughout
the manufacturing process in order to meet
the most demanding customer requirements.
