Our Drop Forging Process

We forge durable, precision parts through controlled heating, die shaping, trimming, heat treatment, cleaning, and CNC finishing processes.

Raw Material Selection

We source high-quality metal billets or bars tailored to required mechanical properties and chemical composition.

01

Cutting and Heating

The material is cut to length and uniformly heated to forging temperature, ensuring plasticity and structural integrity.

02

Die Preparation

Precision-machined forging dies are prepared and aligned to ensure accurate shaping and repeatability for each forging cycle.

03

Drop Forging Operation

A heated billet is placed in the die, then repeatedly struck by a drop hammer or press to form the desired shape.

04

Trimming and Flash Removal

Excess material (flash) is trimmed from the forged part using a secondary die or trimming press.

05

Heat Treatment (Optional)

Parts may undergo quenching, tempering, or annealing to enhance strength, hardness, and fatigue resistance based on application.

06

Surface Cleaning

Forgings are cleaned using shot blasting or pickling to remove scale, improve appearance, and prepare for further processing.

07

Machining and Finishing

Critical dimensions are CNC machined, and additional finishing processes are applied for precision and surface quality.

08

Main Drop Forging Types

In order to satisfy different performance, volume, and complexity needs, we provide two primary categories of hot drop forging services.

    FAQs

    What are the advantages of drop forging?

    Drop forging improves strength, grain flow, and dimensional accuracy while reducing material waste compared to machining or casting processes.
    Drop-forged parts are widely used in automotive, aerospace, construction, oil and gas, agriculture, railway, and heavy machinery industries for critical applications.
    Drop forging can produce complex 2D or 3D geometries, including shafts, rings, brackets, tools, flanges, and connecting rods.
    Drop forging can produce parts from under 0.5 kg to over 500 kg, depending on the equipment and die size.
    Quality control includes first-piece inspection, dimensional checks, material testing, visual inspection, and sometimes NDT like ultrasonic or magnetic particle testing.
    MOQ varies by part size and complexity; typically, economic feasibility starts at 300–500 pieces for custom drop-forged components.
