Advantages of Forgings
-
Improvement of Products’ Internal Quality Forging makes the metallographic structure denser, which prevents internal defects such as nests seen in casting.
-
Improvement of Mechanical Properties Forging provides a continuous grain flow which ensures high strength.
-
Overall Cost Reduction Forging into shapes closer to the finished products reduces machining man-hours, resulting in cost reductions.
- Grain Flow (Fiber Flow)
-
Metal is composed of a crystalline structure. Forging refines crystals and makes them flow plastically. This flow of the metal structure is called grain flow (fiber flow).
