Open-die forgings
Our open-die forgings are manufactured by forming high-quality steel. In this process, pre-material produced by ingot casting is precisely formed into the desired shape using presses, saddles and dies.
Our ingot steel, which is characterized by special properties such as high degrees of purity, homogeneous microstructure or resistance to wear and corrosion, is used to produce a blank by upsetting, stretching and further forming steps. In order to produce open-die forgings for particularly demanding applications, we have high-performance 27-MN and 60-MN open-die forging presses at our disposal. For complex contours, the material is reheated between the individual process steps. Afterwards, various further processing options are available.
