Open Die Forging: A Manufacturing Philosophy Engineered for Performance
Open Die Forging is a process that shapes metal between flat or contoured dies under compressive force. Its core value lies in optimizing the metal's internal grain structure through immense pressure, creating a continuous grain flow that follows the part's contours. This results in superior toughness, fatigue strength, and overall mechanical properties compared to cast or welded alternatives. For core components enduring complex loads, impact, and harsh environments, Open Die Forging is the definitive choice for ensuring long-term reliability.
Liaoyuan's Open Die Forging Advantages: Full Process Control, Superior Quality
-
Materials Science & Custom Selection
We partner with top-tier steel mills to select the most suitable alloy steels, carbon steels, or special grades based on your component's operating conditions (e.g., strength, toughness, corrosion resistance requirements), laying the foundation for exceptional performance.
-
Precision Heating & Forging
Billets are uniformly heated to precise forging temperatures in our computer-controlled industrial furnaces. Our experienced forgemasters then use large hydraulic presses to accurately shape the preform through processes like drawing out, upsetting, and piercing. The primary goal of this stage is to thoroughly break down the as-cast structure, eliminate potential defects, and achieve a dense, homogeneous forged microstructure.
-
Performance-Enhancing Heat Treatment Systems
After forging, components undergo a strictly controlled heat treatment process (e.g. quenching and tempering) to develop the ideal microstructure, imparting the required combination of mechanical properties, including strength, hardness, toughness, and wear resistance.
-
As your one-stop manufacturing partner, we provide a full-range machining service from rough forging to finished part. In our machining workshops, forgings undergo both rough and finish machining to achieve the precise dimensions and surface finishes specified in the drawings, ensuring perfect delivery and readiness for assembly.
