Press forging is a technique used to shape metal by applying mechanical or hydraulic pressure between two dies. It can be done as a hot or cold forging process and is suitable for high volume production of forgings. Press forging offers several advantages over impact or drop forging, such as the ability to deform the work piece completely, control the compression rate, and create any size and shape. It also requires less draft and produces less scrap.
Press forging is commonly used in various industrial applications, including the making of coins and silver articles, as well as in automatic forging. In the case of coin making, the metal is enclosed in a closed die and high pressures are applied to obtain fine details of the die. Lubricants are not used in coining.
Press forging can achieve higher productivity due to the wide range of tonnage available and the ability to complete parts in a single squeeze. It is capable of producing complex and intricate designs with excellent dimensional accuracy, thanks to the use of dies with less draft. Non-ferrous metals are highly suited for press forging, although some ferrous metals, including stainless steel, can also be forged using this method.
