The Benefits Of Using Forged Products
The many benefits of forging have made it a key part of metal forming for hundreds of years. Using forged products offers a range of benefits that makes them highly beneficial to various industries and sectors.
Strength and Durability: Forged products are renowned for their exceptional strength and durability. Forging refines the internal structure of materials, enhancing toughness and resistance to wear and tear. The inherent strength of open die forged components makes them ideal for critical applications in industries such as aerospace and defence.
Resistance to Fatigue: As metal undergoes controlled deformation through precise hammering and pressing, the internal grain structure becomes finely aligned. The forging process maintains a refined grain structure, this coupled with the elimination of porosity and consistent material properties, results in heightened durability.
Bespoke Design and Customisation: Forging allows for intricate and customised designs, catering to the unique needs of different industries. The flexibility in design ensures that forged products can be tailored to specific applications in a broad range of sizes, specs, and design requirements.
Engineered with Precision: Precision is a hallmark of forged products. The controlled forging process allows for tight tolerances and accurate shaping, resulting in components that can meet stringent specifications. This is particularly important in industries with severe constraints and quality controls.
Industry Forged Parts
Forged parts are indispensable across a diverse array of industries where strength, durability, and precision is non-negotiable. The versatility and strength of forged components continue to shape the landscape of some of the biggest industries in the world. As a global leader in forged products, Somers Forge caters to a diverse range of industries. Some of these include:
- Aerospace: In the aerospace sector, critical components such as aircraft landing gear and engine parts rely on forged precision to ensure success in extreme conditions.
- Oil and Gas: Forged parts are integral to the drilling and exploration equipment used in the oil & gas industries, withstanding the harsh conditions of extraction.
- Power Generation: The power generation sector utilises forged components in turbine generators and other critical machinery, guaranteeing reliability in our energy production.
