Forging of Aluminum
The hot forging of aluminum corresponds to the basic principle behind the closed-die forging of steel. It is carried out at temperatures of approximately 500 °C (932 °F). Sawn billets from extruded or cast bars made of aluminum are mostly heated in a synchronized continuous furnace. Following any initial forming to achieve material distribution, the parts are forged in a pre- and finish-die. The excess material is subsequently trimmed. Forged aluminum achieves high strengths at very good levels of toughness and is regarded as a premium material for attaining the best lightweight design possibilities.
