Open-die forgings
Shaped between flat or simple dies. Ideal for large blocks, discs, shafts and low volumes.

Why forge aluminium
Forging shapes metal by pressing or hammering it while hot. Instead of cutting through the grain like machining, it bends the grain to follow the shape of the part. The result is a component with higher strength, better fatigue life and fewer internal defects than one machined from plate or cast in a mould.
That is why forgings are used for wheels, suspension arms, aircraft fittings, pistons and pressure-containing parts, where failure is not an option.
Choosing the forging route
Closed-die forgings
Formed in shaped dies close to the finished part. Best for high volumes and complex geometry.
Seamless rolled rings
Pierced and rolled rings for flanges, bearing races and aerospace casings.
Forging alloys
| Alloy | Character | Typical uses |
|---|---|---|
| 6061 / 6082 | Good strength, weldable, corrosion resistant | Automotive suspension, wheels, general engineering |
| 2014 | High strength, good forgeability | Aircraft fittings, heavy-duty truck parts |
| 2618 | Retains strength at elevated temperature | Pistons, engine and turbo components |
| 7075 / 7050 | Very high strength | Aerospace structural parts, high-load components |

Forging questions
Are forgings stronger than machined plate?
For the same alloy and temper, forgings generally offer better fatigue strength and toughness because the grain follows the shape of the part.
What do I need to request a forging quote?
A drawing, alloy and temper, quantity, and any testing or certification requirements such as ultrasonic inspection.
