This section of the industry may be classified as jobbing with quantities generally small varying from one off to perhaps 100 off. Tooling for producing open die work may consist of flat or shaped ...

Coining is a closed die forging process, in which pressure is applied on the surface of the forging in order to obtain closer tolerances, smoother surfaces, and eliminate draft. Closed die forging is ...

It is the norm for our Retrotechtacular series to concentrate on a technology that has passed out of use but is still of interest to Hackaday readers, so it is perhaps unusual now to feature one that ...

A Hi Pos Deka tool in process and making chips. In the captive die shop of any large forging operation, the pressure is always on to recondition worn dies faster to return them to duty sooner. Much of ...

When it comes to turning raw metal alloys into useful things, two processes dominate: casting and forging. Both have their place, but when strength and light weight are priorities, forging is the ...

A process to make titanium from rutile sand promises to cut the cost of the lightweight metal and cement the UK's position in the aerospace supply chain A consortium including the Advanced Forming ...

To produce complex titanium parts more cost-effectively, some machine shops may adopt advanced forging equipment to complement their CNC capabilities, to create near-net-shaped parts that require only ...
