Metal Forging - Closed Die Forging or Impression Die Forging
Register a free buyer account to lodge a Request For Quote for impression die forging and receive quotes online.
Impression die forging or closed die forging pounds or presses metal between two dies (called tooling) that contain a pre-formed profile of the desired part. Parts from a few grams to 25 tons can be made using this process. Some of the smaller parts are actually forged cold.
Most engineering metals and alloys can be forged via conventional impression-die processes, among them: carbon and alloy steels, tool steels, and stainless, aluminum and copper alloys, and certain titanium alloys. Strain-rate and temperature-sensitive materials (magnesium, inconel, highly alloyed nickel-based superalloys, refractory alloys and some titanium alloys) may require more sophisticated forging processes and/or special equipment for forging in impression dies.
