What is Closed Die Forging?
- Closed die forging is a manufacturing process that uses a die to shape a metal workpiece.
- The workpiece is heated to a high temperature and then placed between two dies.
- The dies are then closed together, forcing the metal to flow into the desired shape.
Closed Die Forging Process
Closed die forging is a manufacturing process that produces high-strength, precision components. It involves heating a metal billet to a high temperature, placing it between two dies, and then pressing or hammering the dies together to force the metal into the desired shape.
Here’s a step-by-step explanation of the closed die forging process:
1. Billet Preparation: The starting point for closed die forging is a metal billet, a piece of metal stock that has been cut to the appropriate size and shape. The billet is typically made from a high-quality steel or alloy
2. Heating: The billet is heated to a high temperature, typically around 2200°F (1200°C), in a furnace. This temperature is necessary to make the metal soft and malleable enough to flow into the die cavity.
3. Die Preparation: While the billet is heating, the dies are prepared. The dies are made from hardened steel or tool steel and are designed to create the desired shape of the forged component. The dies are coated with a lubricant to reduce friction and prevent sticking
4. Forging: Once the billet is heated and the dies are prepared, the forging process begins. The billet is placed between the two dies, and then a press or hammer is used to force the dies together. The pressure applied forces the metal to flow into the die cavity, taking on the desired shape
5. Trimming and Finishing: After forging, the excess metal from the flash (the material that flows out of the die cavity) is trimmed away. The forged component may also undergo additional finishing processes, such as heat treatment or machining, to achieve the desired properties and dimensions.
