Advantages of Steel Forging
Steel is the most used metal in the world. This metal family comprises over 1,000 grades of steel and can be found in a wide range of applications, from cookware to vehicles. It’s widespread not only benefits of its huge reserves, but also because it’s easy to process.
Among all these manufacturing methods, forging is a remarkable process that contributes to the development of the steel industry. Let’s break down the advantages of steel forging and get a further understanding before requesting a steel forgings quote.
- Excellent Mechanical Properties: The plastic deformation during the forging process can refine the grain structure of steel, eliminate defects such as porosity and impurities common in casting, and enhance mechanical properties. The load resistance of forged steel parts is much better than that of castings or machined parts.
- Higher Material Utilization: Millimeter-level precision near net shape of complex forgings can be achieved through die forging technology, which effectively reduces post-processing, improves material utilization, and reduces the overall manufacturing cost
- Flexible Material Adaptability: The forging process is suitable for most engineering steels, including carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, tool steel, high-temperature alloys, etc. The most suitable material can be selected for forging according to the performance requirements.
