At Botou Casting Machinery Factory, we not only cherish and uphold the invaluable, time-honored experiences of yesteryears but also passionately integrate cutting-edge techniques and state-of-the-art machinery into our processes. Our relentless dedication to development and enhancement ensures that we consistently meet and exceed the ever-evolving demands of the dynamic market landscape.
Forging, a time-honored and extraordinarily effective metalworking art, continues its reign as a cornerstone in the industry. Fundamentally, it involves skillfully shaping raw metal in its solid form, steering clear of full-scale melting. Master artisans employ an array of techniques-hammering, rolling, and pressing-to meticulously shape the metal. With countless variations of forging, each introducing unique advantages, the fundamental principle remains: elevating the metal's temperature to facilitate its transformation.
Forging stands unrivaled when compared to casting or alternative metalworking methods, delivering superior physical attributes, notably its remarkable tensile strength, all at a competitive edge. This superiority stems from deliberate modifications in the metal's grain structure. By eschewing full melting, forging exerts percussive and compressive forces that align the grain precisely with the desired final form. This meticulous process results in components significantly sturdier than those produced through machining or casting.
CMC Forge is committed to unlocking the multitude of benefits offered by forging, making them accessible to a broad spectrum of industries. We provide a comprehensive array of expert forging services, each precisely tailored to meet the intricate needs of diverse applications.
THE FORGING PROCESS
The forging process is a multifaceted journey, with each subtype following specific steps that may differ. Despite these variations, most procedures maintain a foundational outline, ensuring consistency in quality and precision.
In the fascinating realm of metal forming, two dominant methods stand out prominently - hot forging and cold forging. These distinct processes, although varied in execution, converge harmoniously to deliver exemplary results, aligning closely in terms of impressive product quality and diverse application potential.
Hot forging is an extraordinary process involving the heating of metal to astonishing temperatures soaring above its recrystallization point, sometimes reaching an impressive 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. This celebrated method is renowned for its significant reduction in energy required to shape the metal, attributed to the intense heat, which diminishes yield strength and significantly enhances ductility. Moreover, hot forging effectively eradicates chemical inconsistencies, resulting in superior product quality that stands unrivaled.
In stark contrast, cold forging is meticulously performed at room temperature or any point below the metal's recrystallization temperature. High-carbon steel, for instance, showcases a strength that renders cold forging impractical. Nevertheless, cold forging takes the lead with unmatched dimensional precision, exceptional uniformity, exquisite surface finish, and minimizes contamination. This versatile process encompasses a spectrum of techniques such as bending, extruding, cold drawing, and cold heading. However, its broader application range demands more robust equipment and occasionally necessitates intermediate annealing, contributing to relatively higher operational costs.

For those in need of special surface finishes, we provide a comprehensive range of secondary operations, such as state-of-the-art machining and surface finishing services, all tailored to meet exact specifications.
Hot forging is a process that involves heating metal beyond its recrystallization temperature, which reduces the flow stress and energy required for metal formation. This method enhances the ease of shaping metals while minimizing the risk of fractures, speeding up production efficiency and ensuring superior quality results.
Iron and its alloys are predominantly hot forged for two main reasons: First, as work hardening progresses, materials like steel and iron become more difficult to manipulate. Second, hot forging these materials is a cost-effective solution that allows for subsequent heat treatment, further enhancing their strength through various processes beyond mere cold working.
Typical hot forging temperatures include: Aluminum (Al) Alloys - ranging from 360°C (680°F) to 520°C (968°F); Copper (Cu) Alloys - from 700°C (1,292°F) to 800°C (1,472°F); and Steel - reaching up to 1,150°C (2,102°F).
In the hot forging process, metal is heated above its recrystallization temperature to prevent strain hardening during deformation. This entails heating the metal and compressing it into a mold, which may also be heated as required. The elevated temperatures make it easier to 'move' the metal, allowing manufacturers to create intricate designs that are unachievable through cold forging.
For superalloys, known for their low malleability, isothermal forging (conducted in a controlled atmosphere) is employed to mitigate oxidation. This specialized hot forging method maintains the workpiece at optimal temperatures throughout the process, ensuring impeccable quality.
Maintaining the mold at a high or slightly lower temperature than the workpiece is crucial. This prevents premature cooling at the mold-workpiece interface, enhancing the metal's flow properties and ensuring seamless manufacturing of parts.
