Applications of Forging Parts
Automotive
Forging supports the automotive industry by producing the crucial parts for the chassis suspension system, which requires high-strength and lightweight parts for stability and boost performance in intensive racing.
Motorcycle
The motorcycle industry benefits from forging for its ability to fabricate aluminum components used in aftermarket repair or performance tuning.
Aerospace
Components used in aircraft or drones require an excellent strong-to-weight ratio, which can help reduce the fuel consumption and increase the stability of the body in harsh environments.
Materials for Forging Parts
At HDC, we mainly forge aluminum and steel because of their great formability and excellent mechanical properties.
Available Steel Grades:
- 10 Steel (ASTM 1010): Commonly used for sheet metal processing, the internationally recognized name is based on carbon content (e.g., 10 indicates approximately 0.10% carbon).
- 45 Steel (ASTM SAE 1045): The carbon content of SAE 1045 and 45 steel (0.43%~0.50%) is almost identical, with similar performance.
- 40Cr Steel (ASTM AISI 5140): The chromium content is about 0.8%~1.1%, and the corresponding international grades all contain the Cr element.
- Q355B Steel (ASTM A572 Gr.50)
- 35CrMo Steel (ASTM AISI 4130): Molybdenum (Mo) element improves high-temperature performance, and international grades mostly contain Mo
- 42CrMo Steel (ASTM AISI 4140): AISI 4140 is highly matched with the carbon content (0.38%~0.43%) and alloy composition of 42CrMo
HDC has over 10 grades of commonly used steel grades in stock for different applications. We can also provide metals used according to the customer's specifications
Available Stainless Steel Grades:
- SUS 304: 304 stainless steel does not contain molybdenum (Mo), and has good resistance to oxidation corrosion, but the resistance to chloride ion corrosion is weak, so it is not suitable for seawater environment. It has excellent workability and weldability, suitable for processes such as free forging and die forging, and can be used at -196℃~800℃. It is commonly used in food processing equipment, household electrical appliances and building decoration.
- SUS 316L: 316L stainless steel contains 2%~3% Mo, corrosion resistance and higher temperature plasticity is better than 304, suitable for complex forging parts. It's widely used in marine equipment, chemical equipment and medical equipment.
Available Aluminum Grades:
- 6061: 6061 belongs to the 6000 series aluminum alloy, with excellent comprehensive properties and medium strength, suitable for hot forging, and can be further improved by T6 treatment.
- 6082: 6082 has slightly higher strength than 6061, excellent corrosion resistance, and can also be used for hot forging and T6 treatment to enhance strength.
- 6063: Aluminum 6063 has low strength, but excellent formability, and is generally suitable for cold working, where hot forging requires tight temperature control
- 2014 (2A50): 2014 has high strength, but poor corrosion resistance, surface treatment is required,
- 2024 (2A12): 2024 has medium to high strength (tensile strength of about 420MPa), excellent heat resistance and forging properties.
- 7075: 7075 has the highest strength (tensile strength ≥ 570 MPa) among aluminum alloys, but it has poor corrosion resistance. Although it can be forged, it is more difficult.

Custom Forging Parts Process
1. Design and Mold Making
We design the mold according to the customer’s drawings or samples, then manufacture the mold with our in-house CNC machining center.
2. Forging Forming
HDC cuts the material and heats it to a proper temperature, then presses the blank into the mold cavity to obtain a precise shape.
3. Heat Treatment
After forging, we perform heat treatments such as annealing, quenching, and aging to eliminate stress and enhance strength.
4. Machining (Optional)
HDC employs CNC machining to correct dimensional inaccuracies from forging and heat treatment, machine precise features like threads, and ensure a smooth base for surface treatments.
5. Surface Treatment
According to requirements, HDC provides finishing treatments such as pickling, sandblasting, and anodizing to enhance the durability and aesthetics of forgings.
6. Inspect and Package
After all manufacturing processes, we inspect the product with CMM and ultrasonic flaw detection, ensuring there are no internal defects.
