What is a Forging machine?

A forging machine is a device that applies pressure to a part or all of a metal material to form or forge it. There are two types of tools used as forging machines: hammers and presses. In addition to air hammers and steam hammers that use compressed air and steam, there are drop hammers that drop large hammers by gravity. On the other hand, presses are classified into hydraulic presses and mechanical presses according to the method of generating the load. While a hammer can apply a large amount of pressure, it is difficult to control the load and forging with high precision. Machine presses are used especially when precision forging is required.

Application of Forging machine

Forging machines are used in the manufacture and processing of hardware such as kitchen knives and pliers, as well as automobile parts and aircraft parts that require high-strength metal materials. Specifically, automobile parts include crank axles, gears, tire wheels, bearing races, and aircraft parts include jet engine parts and fuselage frames. Forging machines are also used in the manufacture of bolts, couplings, valves, etc. as other industrial parts. Forging machines are used when high strength is required and parts that are not easily deformed even when heated are required.
