Why Choose Open Die Forging? - Cromdane Steel, Inc

In open die steel forging, a hammer strikes and deforms the workpiece, which is placed on a stationary anvil. Open die steel forging gets its name from the fact that the dies (the surfaces that are in contact with the workpiece) do not enclose the workpiece, allowing it to flow except where contacted by the dies. The operator, therefore, needs to orient and position the workpiece to get the desired shape.

Open die steel forging is an important technique for many types of manufacturing. It allows rough and finished shapes of many different steel grades. This type of forging is typically used for very large workpieces; we can supply forged parts up to 300,000 pounds.

Open die forged parts are commonly used in the oil and gas, aerospace, mining and construction industries. High-pressure equipment especially benefits from the tough internal structure created in the open die forging process.

There is no end to the shapes and parts that can be created using open die forging, some examples include:

The forging concept allows for a variety of metal deformation alternatives. Closed and open die forging are the two most frequent processes. While the two forms of forging share the same basic notion of employing pressure and temperature to change material, the use of dies to create the metal distinguishes them.

Open Die Forging

Open die forging is the process of deforming a piece of metal between multiple dies that do not entirely contain it. The metal is transformed as the dies hammer or press with a succession of movements until the desired shape is achieved. Open forging products frequently require additional machining and refining to achieve the tolerances required for completed standards.Short-run forgings of parts with simple designs, such as rings, sleeves, discs, shafts, and cylinders, are frequently done with open die forging. Open die forging can also be used to create custom shapes. The strength of the grain structure is increased by repeatedly putting the material through the deformation process. Improved fatigue resistance and strength are two more advantages of open die forging.

Closed Die Forging

Closed die forging, also known as impression die forging, is a metal deformation method that compresses a piece of metal to fill an enclosed die impression using pressure.A series of impression dies is used in some closed die forging procedures to adjust the shape of the material into the final required shape and form. The number of passes the product required through the dies is determined by the type of material, tightness of tolerances, and necessity for heat treatment.

Industries That Benefit From Closed and Open Die Forgings

All types of businesses employ open and closed die forging to make the parts they need. The industries that profit from open die forgings are as follows:
