Custom Open-Die Steel Forging Services
Product Description
Yile Machinery provides high-quality, custom open-die forging services to produce components with superior strength and structural integrity. Using this highly versatile process, we can manufacture custom-shaped forged blanks—including discs, blocks, rings, and shafts—to your exact material and dimensional specifications.
Our forged components serve as the high-strength foundation for critical parts used in the most demanding industries, from oil & gas to heavy machinery.
The Open-Die Forging Advantage: Maximum Strength & Flexibility
Open-die forging is a process where hot metal is shaped between simple, non-enclosed dies using repeated compressive force. Unlike closed-die forging, this method does not confine the workpiece, allowing for the creation of a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
This process fundamentally improves the quality of the steel:
Refined Grain Structure: The forging process kneads the metal, breaking down the coarse cast structure and creating a fine, uniform grain flow that follows the contour of the part.
Superior Mechanical Properties: This refined grain structure results in significantly increased tensile strength, impact toughness, and fatigue resistance compared to castings or parts machined from bar stock.
Guaranteed Structural Integrity: The forging process closes any internal voids or porosity, ensuring a solid, defect-free component.
Cost-Effective for Custom Parts: Without the need for expensive, custom-made dies, open-die forging is the ideal and most economical method for producing one-off parts or small-batch orders.
Our Forging Capabilities
We offer a flexible and comprehensive forging service tailored to your project needs.
Forged Shapes:
Discs & Blanks: Solid, round components used for gears, flanges, and end caps.
Forged Rings: Seamless rolled rings for bearings, gears, and pressure vessels.
Blocks & Rectangles: For machine bases, die blocks, and custom fixtures.
Shafts: Stepped and straight shafts for drive trains, axles, and rollers.
Material Expertise: We can forge a wide range of ferrous metals, including:
Carbon Steels (e.g., 1045, 1050)
Alloy Steels (e.g., 4140 / 42CrMo, 4340, 34CrNiMo6)
Stainless Steels
Supply Condition: We can deliver your forged components in various states to suit your production workflow:
As-Forged: With a standard forged surface.
Rough Machined: Machined to remove the rough outer layer, leaving a set amount of material for your final machining.
-
Heat Treated: Quenched & Tempered, Normalized, or Annealed to achieve specific mechanical properties.
