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 ...

Developments in near-net-shape forging processes promise to enhance engine performance, strengthen components for oil and gas drilling and improve hermetic seals for high-power semiconductors.

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 ...

Forging is a traditional metalworking process in which metal is molded into shape by using the pressure induced by an impact hammer. Cold forging is employed for making smaller steel parts and softer ...

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 ...

Titanium is strong and light, with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. But giving it a good balance of strength and ductility is difficult and expensive. That’s why titanium is used ...
