Forging
Forging delivers parts with superior grain structure and fatigue resistance. Critical for automotive, industrial equipment, and structural components. We source shops covering closed-die (drop), open-die, and ring rolling processes across the full range of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. Heat treatment, normalization, and finish machining are all coordinated under one program.
Capabilities
Process specifications
- Processes
- Closed-die (drop), open-die, ring rolling, upset forging
- Carbon / alloy steels
- 1020, 1045, 4140, 4340, 8620, and equivalents
- Stainless
- 304, 316, 410, 420, 17-4 PH
- Non-ferrous
- Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V), aluminum (6061, 7075), brass, copper alloys
- Part weight range
- 100 g to 50+ kg (custom capacity on request)
- Heat treatment
- Normalizing, annealing, quench and temper, induction hardening
- Secondary machining
- CNC turning and milling to final tolerance
- Typical tolerances
- As-forged: ±0.5 to 2 mm. Machined: ±0.05 to 0.1 mm.
When it fits
- Structural or high-load components. Automotive, aerospace, power transmission.
- Parts where grain structure matters for fatigue life
- Medium-to-high volumes where tooling amortizes over many parts
- Programs requiring material traceability and certification (AMS, EN, ASTM)
When it does not
- Complex internal cavities. Castings or machining fit better.
- Very small, delicate, or thin-walled parts
- Low volumes where tooling doesn't pay back
Common materials
4140 alloy steel · 4340 alloy steel · 17-4 PH stainless · Ti-6Al-4V titanium
Typical lead time
Tooling: 8 to 14 weeks. Production: 4 to 10 weeks after first article approval.
