What is Metal Forming?
Metal forming refers to the process of obtaining products of desired shape, size and performance by plastically deforming metal materials through external forces. Metal forming can be divided into two categories: cold forming (performed at room temperature, such as cold rolling and stamping) and hot forming (performed above the recrystallization temperature, such as hot forging and hot extrusion). The main process methods include forging, rolling, extrusion, drawing, stamping, etc. These methods achieve metal flow forming by controlling parameters such as stress state, strain rate and temperature field.
Our Metal Forming Technologies
Forging
Using high pressure or impact to plastically deform metal billets at room or high temperatures, forging produces parts with excellent strength and density.
Die Casting
Die casting is a molding process that injects molten metal into a high-precision mold at high speed. It is suitable for alloys such as aluminum, zinc, and magnesium. This process can achieve the production of parts with complex shapes, thin-walled structures, and high dimensional accuracy. It is widely used in the automotive, electronics, and home appliance industries.
Powder Injection Molding (MIM)
Powder injection molding mixes metal powder with a thermoplastic binder, forms it through an injection molding machine, and then degreases and sinters it to form dense and complex metal parts. MIM is particularly suitable for the manufacture of large-scale, small, and precision structural parts, such as electronic connectors, medical device parts, etc.
Powder Metallurgy
Metal powders are mixed with binders, compacted into shape, and sintered at high temperatures to create dense components—ideal for complex geometries and high-volume production.
Advantages of metal forming
✅ High material utilization rate Near-net forming is achieved through plastic deformation (such as forging and stamping), reducing waste and reducing costs.
✅ Superior mechanical properties Grains flow along the deformation direction, improving strength, toughness and fatigue life (such as forgings are better than castings).
✅ High production efficiency High-speed stamping, continuous rolling and other technologies support large-scale automated production, suitable for industries such as automobiles and home appliances.
✅ Strong adaptability Can process a variety of metals such as steel, aluminum, titanium, etc., suitable for complex-shaped parts (such as aviation blades, precision gears).
✅ Good surface quality Cold rolling, precision forging and other processes can achieve high dimensional accuracy and finish, reducing subsequent processing.
✅ Energy saving and environmental protection Compared with cutting processing, it consumes less energy and has no chip pollution, which is in line with the trend of green manufacturing.
✅ Strong structural integrity Integrated molding (such as hydraulic forming) reduces welding links, improves reliability, and is suitable for lightweight design.
