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.
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.
