Aluminum Forging

Why Forging Instead of Die Casting?

  • Often 30–50% higher strength in suitable applications
  • Superior fatigue resistance
  • Better grain structure & toughness
  • Dense forged structure with reduced casting-related porosity risk
  • Suitable for load-bearing and performance-critical components

FAQ

Common Questions

Clear answers to help you better understand our services and capabilities.

Hot forging heats the aluminum to improve formability and grain flow, while closed-die forging uses precision dies to produce parts with higher strength, tighter dimensional accuracy, and better consistency. We select the appropriate method based on your part's geometry, strength requirements, and production volume.

As a general pattern: forging gives the highest strength for demanding, high-stress applications; casting suits complex shapes at higher volumes and lower cost; and machining from billet suits lower volumes or parts needing tight tolerances without tooling investment. The right choice depends on your part's load requirements, quantity, and geometry — share your drawing and we can help you evaluate the tradeoffs.

T6 heat treatment increases the strength of forged aluminum parts compared to their untreated condition, making it the standard temper for structural and load-bearing forged components.

Forged aluminum parts typically go through dimensional inspection and material verification to confirm they meet drawing and mechanical requirements before shipment. Specific inspection steps can be confirmed based on your project's requirements.
