Closed Die Forging

Closed die forging is a metalworking process where heated metal is shaped by compressing it between two molds, or dies, that contain the desired final shape. The metal fills the contours of the dies, allowing for the production of complex shapes with improved structural integrity. This process is often used to create strong, lightweight components in industries like automotive and aerospace. It differs from open die forging, where the metal is shaped without confinement, leading to less precise results. Closed die forging enhances efficiency and reduces material waste, making it a popular choice for producing high-quality metal parts.
