Open Die Forging:
A heated metal piece is shaped by repeated hammering or pressing between flat or shaped dies. The workpiece is not entirely enclosed, allowing flexibility for forging large and intricate components. This process enhances the metal’s plasticity, making it ideal for producing strong and precisely shaped parts. The technique is well-suited for creating unique designs in large components, ensuring both strength and precision.
Closed Die Forging :
Closed die forging involves shaping metal within precision dies to create near-net shape components with enhanced mechanical properties. The process utilizes two or more dies to deform the metal, ensuring precise control and dimensional accuracy. Widely employed in industries like automotive and aerospace, closed die forging produces complex, high-strength parts. It offers improved material utilization compared to open die forging.
