Developments in near-net-shape forging processes promise to enhance engine performance, strengthen components for oil and gas drilling and improve hermetic seals for high-power semiconductors.

Scientists have studied the process to forge mechanical components using nanostructured material. Specifically, they have been able to produce matrices to forge a set of mechanical parts like cogs and ...

Mandrel forging, sometimes known as saddle forging, is a forging operation that is performed with the help of a tool called mandrel. A mandrel is a blunt ended tool or rod that is used to enlarge or ...

Forging is a traditional metalworking process in which metal is molded into shape by using the pressure induced by an impact hammer. Cold forging is employed for making smaller steel parts and softer ...

In a variety of industries, casting and forging are popular methods of creating components and parts. In spite of this, the processes are very different from one another, and the products produced by ...

The City of Steel has brought forward a new metal revolution; Researchers at the University of Sheffield are paving the way for more sustainable titanium production Titanium has long been held as a ...

A process to make titanium from rutile sand promises to cut the cost of the lightweight metal and cement the UK's position in the aerospace supply chain A consortium including the Advanced Forming ...
