- Uses simple, flat, or slightly contoured dies.
- Typically for large parts like shafts, rings, and disks.
- Common in the power generation, shipbuilding, and aerospace sectors.
Closed-Die Forging (Impression Die Forging)
- Encases the metal in a die that functions like a mold.
- The dies hold impressions that match the desired shape.
- Offers a smooth surface finish and excellent dimensional precision.
- Used for automotive parts, tools, hardware, machinery components.
Based on Specific Techniques
Upset, coining, extrusion and isothermal forging are specialized techniques included in our forging services to meet precise and high-quality requirements.
Upset Forging

- Commonly used for bolts, screws, and fasteners.
- Applications in automotive, construction, and machinery industries.
Coining Forging
- A precise, closed-die process squeezing metal into detailed shapes.
- Creates parts with precise dimensions and a superior surface finish.
- Typically applied to produce coins, medals, and finely detailed gears.
- Applications in minting, aerospace, and electronics industries.
Extrusion Forging
- Forces metal through a die to create long, fixed cross-section profiles.
- Produces parts with uniform material properties.
- Commonly used for pipes, tubes, and rods.
- Applications in construction, automotive, and industrial sectors.
Isothermal Forging
- Maintains a constant temperature near the metal’s recrystallization point.

- Commonly used for turbine blades and precision components.
- Applications in aerospace, energy, and high-performance industries.
Seamless Rolled Ring Forging
- Tarts with open-die forging to create a donut shape.
- Produces high-strength, circular cross-section rings.
- Commonly used for bearings, gears, and flanges.
- Used across aerospace, automotive, oil, and gas sectors.
Precision Forging
- Produces near-net shape parts with minimal post-forging machining.
- High accuracy and tight tolerances achieved.
- Minimal waste of material during production.
- Ideal for high-performance gears, aerospace components, precision tools.
