CLOSED DIE FORGING
This process is also referred to as “impression die forging”.
Steel is heated to a high temperature (below its melting point but high enough to create plasticity in the material) and it is pressed or formed by a press into a die or mold.
Closed die Component Properties
- Good Dimensional accuracy and repeatability in the manufacturing process
- Good use of material, very little waste
- Generally smaller components manufactured with this process
- High production rates
- Limitations
- Can be expensive due to die costs
- Some machining usually necessary
