Press forging is a metalworking process that uses a press to shape metal by applying pressure between two dies. The process can be done using mechanical or hydraulic pressure. During the process,
A pre-defined metal chunk is placed between two dies. The press applies gradual pressure to the metal chunk, which is then shaped into the desired form defined by the dies. The whole process just finishes within seconds.
Benefits of press forging:
Press forging can shape the metal in a uniform way from the surface to the center. It can result in a stronger workpiece. It is more cost effective for higher volume runs than drop forging.
