  1. What is Forging? How Forging is Different from Casting and What are its Advantages? http://www.sainiflange.co.in/

  2. It is a process of changing the shape of the metal into a more grained structure. This is done by imposing compressive forces on it either by hammering or by using a specialized tool called die. There are two types of forging based upon the temperature at which it is performed => Hot Forging => Cold Forging

  3. => In the former metal is heated to a temperature where it reaches above  recrystallization. Extreme heat is required to change the shape of the metal, but sometimes this also leads to oxidation. This can be avoided by using a special type of forging (isothermal) where the metal is deformed in a suitable environment such as in a vacuum. => As the name suggests the latter is done in a cool temperature where the metal reaches below recrystallization. It is mostly performed in soft metals such as aluminum, finishing is not required after it, but sometimes metal is heated for a proper finish.

  4. Both of these processes have their own merits and demerits, but it ultimately depends on the manufacturer preferences, requirements and his budget to choose. Difference between forging and casting => There is a broad difference between these processes, but they are eventually used to change the shape of the metal. In casting the metal is heated, poured into the mould of the desired shape.

  5. Parts produced after casting are more prone to defects due to heating, cooling, temperature variations, lack of vents and various other factors which are employed during casting. Forging is cost effective as compared to other metalworking processes and provides a better structural integrity. => Forged component manufacturers understand all these technicalities precisely, therefore, fabricate durable and reliable machine parts.

  6. Advantages   Reliability Forged components are reliable and free from any defects such as cracks and hot tears, therefore, its reliable and produce suitable products.   Strength Products made of this are tough and strong, they have a tight structure and provide a better directional flow, it also minimizes the porosity of the product and make them more durable and fatigue resistance.

  7. Summary At last, there is no other process which can produce metal components with such desired properties on a budget. If you are searching for a CNC turned components manufacturers then you must check all the available resources for fabricating wonderful products.
