Intro: 

Alloy steel forgings contain steel and alloys, such as nickel, to produce desired properties. These steel alloys do not contain carbon.

Aluminum forgings are easy to forge, possess a smooth appearance, good fracture resistance and great electrical conductivity and are economical.

Axisymmetric forging uses a metal flow moving in a direction away from a common axis in a radial direction during deformation.

Brass forgings are common in the hardware industry, producing useful and decorative parts, such as valves, doorknobs and handles.

Carbon steel forgings are cost-effective, easy to manufacture and effective in temperatures up to 900°F (482oC).

Closed die forging is the shaping of hot metal completely within the walls or cavities of two dies that come together and enclose the workpiece on all sides
