Different Types Of Process In Open Die Forgings

If you are new to the world of forging, you will not know about the different types of forging processes that are executed for casting metals. For your information, the commonly used types for forged discs and rings are drop forging, press forging, upset forging, impression forging,  automatic forgoing, near net forging, roll forging and induction forging.  You will also find this helpful that based on the degree of temperature exerted during the process, forgings is divided into cold, hot  and warm forging.

Today, we will provide you some information on Open Die Forgings. Start reading right now.

What is open forging?

In this process of shaping metal, the anvil on which the metal is placed for deforming is stationary in nature. The compressive force that is employed for disintegrating the metal piece and reshaping it is done by means of a hammer.

Why is the word ‘open’ attached with the name of this process of metal casting?

Actually, the process gets it name from the method that it follows. The work piece that is used for casting metal is not put in  an enclosed space. Therefore, when compressive force is applied on it,  the work piece is  allowed to flow to any direction unless it gets deliberately obstructed by the die.

If open technique is followed, how can the work piece be positioned so that it gets the desired shape?

In case of this process of making open Forged Discs and rings, a lot of caliber is required on part of the operator. This is because he has to gauge and orient the position of the metal in accordance to the position of the die in order to get the desired shape.
