DF Precision Inc. Metal Forging

The wide range of capabilities that DF Precision can service allows the company to produce quality results at a more efficient production time.

Precision forging can achieve results with the quality of a final piece with little to no finishing work required.

The properties of a forged auto part is stronger than parts produced from machining, casting or any other manufacturing process.

Metal can flow like toothpaste when you squeeze it between 2 molds (dies) to achieve the design and shape you want. This can be done when the metal is cold or hot.

Dating back to as early as 4000 BC, metals were forged by the early man to create hand tools and weapons that have aided in the survival of mankind.

Forging produces more predictable responses to heat treatment unlike casting, and the results of the products from forging are more reliable than those of casting.

The die is the customized mold tailored and engineered to the customer’s design, and during the forging process of deforming the metal material, the desired shape of the metal is achieved by forcing it into the shaped cavity.

Hot forging and cold forging are two methods of metal forming that are similar yet very different at the same time.

There are two behaviors of deformation that the shape of metal can adopt --- either temporarily change or permanently keep its new shape when forged.

How can you shape a block of metal with precision at room temperature? The process of cold forging enables the shape and size of metals to be altered while the temperature is cold or below the recrystallisation point at room temperature.
