Closed Die Forging

Closed-die forging is often used in the automotive and tool industries. Another reason forging is common in industrial sectors is that forgings generally have about a 20 percent higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to cast or machined parts of the same material.

The parts can range in weight from less than a kilogram to hundreds kilograms, they are widely used in mechanisms and machines wherever a component requires high strength; its usually require further processing (such as machining) to achieve a finished part.
