Custom Forging Hot-Formed Metal Parts

Our Expert Knowledge of Custom Metal Forging Works For You

Hot metal forging is a centuries-old process that has evolved into a sophisticated technique in the modern era. The fundamental principle behind hot forging remains the same: it involves heating a metal alloy to a high temperature and then shaping it into a desired form through the application of force. However, the advancements in engineering skills and specialized machinery have transformed custom metal forging into a precise and reliable manufacturing process.

One of the most significant advantages of custom metal forging is the exceptional strength and toughness it imparts to the final product. As the metal is shaped through the forging process, its internal grain structure is deformed and conforms to the shape of the part being produced. This results in a continuous grain structure throughout the part, which significantly enhances its mechanical properties. This continuous grain structure contributes to the superior strength and durability of custom forgings, making them ideal for applications where structural integrity and reliability are crucial.

Custom metal forging can reduce the need for expensive alloys. By utilizing the forging process's inherent strengthening effects, it is possible to achieve the required material properties with a less costly alloy, leading to cost savings without compromising performance. This makes custom hot metal forging a cost-effective solution for many industries and applications.

Some advantages of custom metal forging:

  • Improved Strength and Toughness
  • Uniform Composition
  • No Porosity
  • No Shrinkage
  • No Cavities
  • No Cold Pour Issues.
  • Less Need for Expensive Alloys

When considering the long-term benefits of custom metal forging, it becomes evident that it can offer a lower overall cost compared to alternative manufacturing methods such as casting or fabrications. The initial investment in custom forging may seem higher, but when you account for factors like procurement, lead time, rework, and the costs associated with scrap, downtime, and quality issues, the advantages of custom forging outweigh the short-term cost savings of other methods.

Typical components produced through hot-formed forging technology encompass a wide range of products, including clevis balls, screws, nuts, bolts, and many others, but Tengco can offer thousands of different custom metal forgings for a diverse set of applications and industries. Hot metal forging's ability to deliver high-quality, strong, and reliable parts makes it a preferred choice for our customers seeking the best combination of performance and cost-effectiveness in their products.
