Metal Hammer Forging
Turn to Modern Group for high-quality, high-volume, and high-speed custom metal hammer forging. From custom components for the aerospace industry to automotive accessories manufactured at scale, we offer the dynamic capabilities you need. Explore the custom metal hammer forging process, key applications for hammer-forged components, and the advantages of choosing Modern Group for your forging needs.
The Hammer Forging Process
Metal hammer forged parts are formed using closed impression dies, temperatures reaching up to 2300 degrees Fahrenheit, and a programmable metal hammer with torque capabilities up to 96,000 foot-pounds. The speed and force of the hammer are carefully considered and tailored to the component at hand.
A hammer forge is an excellent choice for small runs of custom components. The process is suitable for a range of alloys, with stainless steel, carbon steel, and alloy steel being popular options. Once the hammer forge has shaped the piece, it can be machined, cleaned, or heat-treated to create a finished product.
Metal Hammer Forging Applications
Our custom hammer forging services are suitable for components up to 50 pounds in weight and up to 36 inches in length, so we can shape various metal hammer-forged parts to meet your needs.
Below are a few common parts we have forged:
- Valve bodies
- Fixtures
- Hose hangers
- Drill bits
- Engine components
- Other industry-specific parts
