The original definition of forging is the "mechanical deformation of metal when heated to a plastic state". However, in recent years it has come to include similar operations done in the cold or room temperature state as well. There are two main types of forgings: open end forging and close end forging. However we also make use of aluminum forging for a lot of applications.The forging process and aluminum alloys ensure the best of great strength, light weight and attractive appearance. Aluminum forgings are generally used in applications where the high integrity of the part is of utmost importance. They are used primarily for structural components such as the intake (front end) of gas turbine engines where light weight is crucial. In automotive applications, forged components are commonly found at points of shock and stress. Forged automobile components include connecting rods, crankshafts, wheel spindles, axle beams, pistons, gears, and steering arms. Forgings are also used in helicopters, piston-engine planes, commercial jets, and supersonic military aircraft. Many aircraft are "designed around" forgings and contain more than 450 structural forgings as well as hundreds of forged engine parts. "forged" is the mark of quality in hand tools and hardware. Pliers, hammers, sledges, wrenches, garden implements, and surgical tools are almost always produced through forging. The aluminum components we manufacture range in weight from a few ounces to a few hundred pounds, and are forged into a wide variety of shapes and sizes with or without cores. To prepare forged aluminum products for secondary machining and assembly metals' plants have in-house heat treating capabilities. They also offer other services such as finish machining, anodizing, painting, powder coating, polishing assembly work, design assistance, etc. Characteristics: 6061- very good corrosion resistance and formability. It is the most popular forge alloy for automotive forgings. Good machinability and fatigue properties make this an excellent alloy for suspension parts. 2014- typically used for heavy duty forging applications where high strength and hardness are required including service at high temperature. 2618- this alloy is used for high temperature applications typically with rotating engine parts. 4032- used for applications such as pistons where wear resistance and a low coefficient of thermal expansion are required. The above mentioned aluminum alloy nos. Are the most popular ones used for forging.
