Metal Forging: How Strong Parts Fix Big Problems

Why Parts Break and Cost You Money

Parts break. You see it all the time. Weak parts stop work. They cost you money. They make you wait. When parts break, work stops. When work stops, you lose money.

Your machines need strong parts. When parts are not strong, they bend. They crack. They snap. This is bad for your work.

Cars, planes, and big tools all need strong parts. When parts are not strong, bad things happen.

When Parts Break, Problems Get Worse

When a part breaks, you have to stop work. You have to wait for new parts. This takes time. Time is money. You lose both.

The market for metal parts is big – $89.2 billion in 2023 [^1]. It keeps growing at 6.8% each year [^2]. This means more and more people need good parts that do not break.

Think about what happens when parts break:

• Machines stop
• Work stops
• Money is lost
• Time is lost
• Jobs are late

This is not good for anyone.

Metal Forging Makes Parts That Do Not Break

Metal forging makes parts strong. It makes them last. It saves you money.

Forging is when metal is shaped with force. The metal gets hot. Then tools hit it or press it into shape. This makes the metal very strong.

Nuestro custom fasteners and parts made this way do not break easily. They keep your work going. They save you time and money.

How Metal Forging Works

There are two main ways to forge metal:

Hot Forging

Hot forging happens when metal gets very hot (1,100–1,250°C) [^3]. The hot metal is soft and easy to shape. This is good for big parts like:

• Car parts
• Big tools
• Wind turbine parts

Hot forging uses less energy than other ways to make parts – 25-30% less than casting [^4]. This saves money.

Cold Forging

Cold forging happens at room temperature [^3]. It is good for small parts that need to be very exact. Cold forging uses even less energy – 40-50% less than casting [^4].

Cold forging makes parts like our Sujetadores con tuercas a presión. These small parts are very strong and exact.

Types of Metal Forging

There are many ways to forge metal. Each way has good points:

Open Die Forging

In open die forging, the metal is not fully in the tool. It can move some. This is good for very big parts.

Closed Die Forging

In closed die forging, the metal is fully in the tool. It cannot move. This makes very exact parts.

At our shop, we use closed die forging to make Soportes de chasis estampados that fit just right.

Drop Forging

In drop forging, a heavy weight falls on the metal. This is fast and good for many parts.

Press Forging

In press forging, the metal is slowly pressed. This is good for parts that need to be very exact.

Metal Forging Helps Many Jobs

Metal forging helps many types of work:

Cars and Trucks

Cars need strong parts. The car part market is 38% of all forging [^5]. Cars need parts like:

• Axles
• Gears
• Shafts

These parts must be strong. They must last a long time. Forged parts do this.

Bharat Forge makes 25% of all truck axles in the world [^6]. This shows how metal forging helps cars and trucks.

Planes and Flying

Planes need very strong parts. If a part breaks in a plane, it is very bad. Metal forging makes sure this does not happen.

GE Aviation cut part problems by 40% using new forging tools [^7]. This means safer planes.

Wind Power

Wind power needs big, strong parts. Wind turbine shafts made by Vestas had 15% less down time [^8]. This means more power and less waste.

Nuestro Carcasa metálica de luminarias show how we make parts for power needs.

Health Care

Health tools need to be very exact. Zimmer Biomet makes parts for the body that are 99.99% free of problems [^9]. This is very good for people who need these parts.

Why Forged Parts Are Better

Forged parts have many good points:

They Are Stronger

The way the metal flows in forging makes it strong. It does not break easily.

They Last Longer

Forged parts do not wear out fast. They keep working well for a long time.

They Are Very Safe

Forged parts do not fail when you need them most. This keeps people safe.

They Save Money

Even though forged parts may cost more at first, they save money over time. They do not need to be fixed or changed as often.

How We Check Forged Parts

We need to make sure all parts are good. We check them in many ways:

Ways We Find Problems

Nuestro Estampado de cobre para cables eléctricos parts go through all these checks.

What’s Next for Metal Forging

Metal forging keeps getting better:

Less Waste

New ways to forge use 60% less waste [^10]. This is good for the earth.

Smart Tools

New smart tools make forging 12% faster [^11]. This saves time and money.

New Ways to Make Parts

New ways to make parts cut costs by 35% [^12]. This helps everyone.

Using Old Metal

Some shops use 70% old metal for new parts [^13]. This helps keep the earth clean.

Metal Forging Around the World

Metal forging happens all over the world:
