Steel forging is a manufacturing process that uses localised compressive forces, such as hammering or pressing, to shape steel into desired forms. It has been used for centuries to produce high-quality, durable products. Modern steel forging involves advanced techniques like automatic hot forging, which can rapidly produce small to medium-sized parts with tight tolerances and minimal waste. Steel forgings are widely used in mechanisms and machines where high strength is required. The forging process aligns the grain structure of the steel, resulting in components that are stronger, tougher, and more reliable than other metalworking methods.
Forged steel has higher density (7.85 g/cm³), durability, and uniformity compared to other manufacturing methods. The forging process reorients the grain structure, resulting in enhanced fatigue (up to 10x) and impact properties. Forged steel also exhibits less than 1% porosity and internal defects. Additionally, forged steel can be classified into different types - cold forged (up to 1000°C), hot forged (800-1200°C), and hardened forged (900-1100°C) - based on the temperature and pressure (up to 1000 MPa) applied during manufacturing. These properties give forged steel exceptional strength (up to 1500 MPa), toughness (up to 200 J), and ductility (up to 30% elongation), making it ideal for safety-critical components in severe service conditions.
The steel forging process begins with the receipt and inspection of raw material billets. These billets are then cut or sheared to the desired size using shearing presses or band saws. They are then heated to the appropriate forging temperature in temperature-controlled induction billet heaters. With the heated billets ready, the forging stage commences. The hot billets are shaped into the desired form using belt drop hammers or forging/screw presses. The forged components then undergo both hot and cold inspection to ensure quality. Later the components move to the heat treatment phase, which may involve hardening, tempering, or annealing in calibrated electric or oil furnaces. The final manufacturing steps involve finishing the forgings. This includes shot blasting the parts and performing a visual inspection. The finished, high-quality steel forgings are then carefully packaged and shipped to customers.
