Aluminum Forgings

Aluminum is a metal used extensively in the forging industry and is regarded highly due to its effectiveness in creating high performance parts. Aluminum is light in weight, has an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and anti-corrosion properties which make it ideal for aerospace, automotive, motor sports and defense projects. Aluminum provides the performance and safety required while maintaining the lightness needed for speed and energy efficiency. Aluminum is extremely durable, prevents corrosion and is known for its malleability, and for these reasons aluminum is the most widely used metals in the industry.

Closed-die forging, often referred to as impression-die forging, is a manufacturing process where metal is pressed, pounded or squeezed under great pressure in between two dies to produce high-strength parts. Because the dies restrict the flow of the metal, the forging process is the best option for intricate designs and close tolerances.  Closed-die forging has the capability of producing an almost limitless variety of shapes with a range in weight from just a few ounces to more than 25 pounds.
