We are able to manufacture and supply forged blanks, also known as usages.
Forging allows the required shape to be achieved with the minimum amount of waste material thus reducing the final costs.
Where necessary bars can be enlarged at one or both ends to be machined afterwards, once again reducing machining time and cost of raw material.
The Benefits Forged Usages:Machining & Fastener Companies:
? Save up to 50% on material.
? Improved machining cycle times.
? Increase shop capacity as a result of reduced cycle times.
? Better metal grain flow and strength.
? Reduced material waste.
? Reduced energy cost.
? Reduced tool and tip cost, because of less material removal.
Drop Forging Companies:
? Reduce pre-form operations and increased output.
? Die cost and size reduced, by removing pre-forming impressions.
? Less requirement to work away from centre-line of ram, reducing wear and stress on expensive components.
? Reduced material waste.
? Reduced energy cost, through reduced cycle time.
