Forging Machines
A forging machine shapes metal using compressive forces. Unlike casting, forging retains the material’s grain structure, resulting in higher strength components. Forging is ideal for parts subject to stress and impact.
Type
Drop Forging Machine: Uses repeated hammering blows.
Press Forging Machine: Applies continuous pressure to form parts.
Upset Forging Machine: Used to enlarge a part of a metal workpiece by compressing its length.
Closed Die (Impression Die) Forging: For precision shapes using shaped dies.
Application
Automotive: Crankshafts, gears, axles
Aerospace: Turbine blades, landing gear parts
Construction: Tools, fasteners
Railways: Couplings, wheels
Material Selection
Machine frames are made of high-strength cast steel or welded structures. Dies use tool steels (like H13 or D2) for heat resistance. Lubricants and cooling systems are critical, so alloy components and coated surfaces are used in high-wear zones.
