Forging & Powdered Metal • Forging Services Sub-Processes: Heading, hot forging, impression die, near-net-shape, open die, press, roll, swaging, upset forging. • FORGING produces parts that are significantly stronger for their weight than parts made by casting or machining. Since forged parts are shaped by making the metal flow into its final shape, the metal takes on a directional grain structure that accounts for the superior strength of the parts. • In DIE FORGING, metal is beaten between two matching steel blocks with special shapes in them, called dies. When the metal is hammered between the dies, it assumes the same shape as the shapes in the die. When it reaches its final shape, it is taken out to cool. This process produces strong parts that are of a precise shape, but requires a larger investment for the specialized dies. Upset forging increases the diameter of a piece of metal by flattening it. It is generally used to make small parts, especially to form heads on fasteners like bolts and nails. • The manufacturing leadtimes for large quantity forged parts can be longer compared to some simple machined parts, but the technique is crucial for parts that require extraordinary strength such as bolts, nuts, special application fasteners, automotive, forklift, crane parts. • POWDER METALLURGY is a forming and fabrication technique consisting of three major processing stages. First, the primary material is physically powdered, dividing it into many small individual particles. Next, the powder is injected into a mold or passed through a die to produce a weakly cohesive structure (via cold welding) very near the dimensions of the object ultimately to be manufactured. The final product formed by applying pressure, high temperature, long setting times (during which self-welding occurs), or any combination thereof.
