Open Die Forging — Finite Element Metal Forming Simulation

Open die forging is a forging process used for large and critical products that cannot be formed using basic forging processes due to their high deformation load or massive dimensions. In open die forging, the metal is shaped by compressive forces applied by a pair of flat dies that do not completely enclose the workpiece, allowing the material to flow and form to the desired shape.

The technological processes of open die forging are often used to produce individual, low-volume parts for die blocks, rings for further rolling, blanks of crankshafts for marine engines, and other large parts requiring the characteristics and durability of a forging. Open die forging can be used with a variety of materials, including steel, aluminum, titanium, and other metals and alloys.
