Press forging uses steady, slow pressure to shape metal instead of quick hammer hits. It can be done hot, warm, or cold. The slow motion pushes metal deep into the die, giving a more complete fill and smoother outer surface.
Because it presses rather than strikes, press forging imposes lower impact loads on the dies. This extends tool life and reduces damage to the machine.
Benefits of Press Forging
High precision: The steady force allows metal to fill the die completely. This leads to better control over part shape and size.
Stronger grain flow: Continuous pressure improves grain alignment, which strengthens the part.
Smooth surface finish: Press forging causes less turbulence in the metal. The result is a cleaner outer surface with fewer defects.
