WHAT IS “FORGING”?

forge [fôrj]                                    锻造【鍛造】

VERB
make or shape (a metal object) by heating it in a fire or furnace and beating or hammering it.

Data from Oxford Languages

Hot die forging‌ is a precision forging process where solid metal billets are heated above their recrystallization temperature and formed under high pressure within precisely engineered dies. This method achieves near-net-shape components through controlled plastic flow,often eliminating the need for extensive machining. Simultaneously refining grain structure via dynamic recrystallization to enhance mechanical strength and fatigue resistance. Unlike casting, it produces high-density parts through solid-state deformation without molten metal filling, making it essential for critical load-bearing applications like automotive transmission gears and aerospace engine components.

Inside the Hot Forging Process

Heated metal is pressed under high pressure into a precision steel die, where it flows to fill the cavity and takes the shape of the tool. In the process, the metal’s grain structure is refined, resulting in parts with superior strength and durability. This process is ideal for producing high-performance components with excellent mechanical properties.

FAQ's

Still Have Questions?

Here are some of the most common inquiries we get from other clients. Feel free to reach out if yours isn’t listed.

01.What is the difference from other methods?
Process Material Strength Precision Production Cost Suitable for
Forging High (Excellent grain flow) Medium (requires secondary machining) Moderate Structural parts, appearance parts
CNC Machining Depends on material High (±0.01mm) High (time-consuming) Prototypes, high-precision parts
Casting Lower (porosity risk) Low to Medium Low (especially for mass production) Complex shapes, low-stress applications

Yes. We Huatuchang offer one-stop forging + CNC machining services to deliver finished parts with ±0.01mm tolerance.

Typically, tooling takes 2–3 weeks, and samples are ready within 10 days after tooling approval.

We’re flexible. For new tooling projects, MOQ starts from 300–500 pcs depending on part size and complexity.

We specialize in hot forging using precision dies. This process improves material strength, reduces machining time, and ensures excellent dimensional stability.
