Forging 140 steering knuckle

Usually the compressive force is in the form of hammer blows using a power hammer or a press.Forging refines the grain structure and improves physical properties of the metal. With proper design, the grain flow can be oriented in the direction of principal stresses encountered in actual use.Forgings are consistent from piece to piece, without any of the porosity, voids, inclusions and other defects. Thus, finishing operations such as machining do not expose voids, because there aren't any.

• Excellent dimensional accuracy:
  Dimensional accuracy is typically 0.1 mm for the first 2.5 cm and 0.02 mm for each additional centimeter.

• Smooth surfaces:
  Surface finishes of 1 – 25 μm.

• Production rate:
  The production rate is dependent on cavitation, the number of cavities in a mold. One mold can complete 200 to 300 shots per hour.With smaller parts, it can increase to the thousands.

• Detailed parts:
  Reproduces any design down to the finest details with thin walls and structures.

• Inserts:
  Threaded inserts, bearings, and addons can be easily included.

• Tensile strength:
  Parts have tensile strengths of 60,000 psi or a 415 MPa.

• Automation:
  Hydraulic and pneumatic equipment are commonly used for efficiency and lower cost.

• Tolerances:
  Produces complex parts with extremely close tolerances.
