Close Die Forging Services: Leesh Die Forged Components

Close die forging, a complex shape metal – forming process. In this process, a heated metal billet is placed between two dies. As the dies come together under immense pressure, the metal is forced to conform to the intricate shape of the die cavity. This results in parts with exceptional dimensional accuracy and a refined surface finish with less or no machining request.

The close die forging begins with die design. At Leesh our engineer team will desin the die as per customers’ drawing or model, after desgining, we will send to our machining shop for forging die maufacturing. Once the dies are ready, the metal billet is heated to its required forging temperature. This temperature varies depending on the type of metal, ensuring maximum malleability. The heated billet/raw material is then precisely positioned between the dies. A strong press then closes the dies, shaping the metal into the desired form. Post forging, the part will send to heat treatment to enhance its mechanical properties.

In most of the time, not only one die, it may 2 or 3 or more further dies to complete the finial shape.

One of the primary benefits of close die forging is the high level of precision it offers. The process allows for the production of complex shapes with tight tolerances, reducing the need for extensive machining. Additionally, the forging process aligns the metal’s grain structure, resulting in parts that are stronger and more durable. This makes close die – forged components ideal for applications where reliability and performance are paramount, such as in the automotive, aerospace, and defense industries.
