Productivity and IE in Iron and Steel Forging


Where can you find forgings in Automotive Vehicles  and Trucks?

In automotive and truck applications, forged components are commonly found at points of shock and stress. Cars and trucks may contain more than 250 forgings, most of which are produced from carbon or alloy steel. Forged engine and powertrain components include connecting rods, crankshafts, transmission shafts and gears, differential gears, drive shafts, clutch hubs, and universal joint yokes and crosses. Forged camshafts, pinions, gears, and rocker arms offer ease of selective hardening as well as strength. Wheel spindles, kingpins, axle beams and shafts, torsion bars, ball studs, idler arms, pitman arms, steering arms, and linkages for passenger cars, buses, and trucks typify applications requiring extra strength and toughness.

Fully automatic closed-die forging line  to manufacture automotive pistons.
The flash-free precision forging process will produce automotive pistons with a four-second cycle time, saving material and energy costs. Scrap-generation and finish machining steps will be minimized. The precise amount of material required to form a piston will be used, with integrated process controls monitoring the entire process line.
