Open-Die Forging
Open-die forging deforms metal between flat or shaped dies without fully enclosing it, ideal for large and custom pieces. Huaxiao delivers open-die forging as part of our ISO 9001:2015 certified Forging capabilities — from rapid prototyping to high-volume production, with full dimensional inspection and material certification on every order.
What Is Open-Die Forging?
Open-Die Forging is a specialized capability within our Forging service. Open-die forging deforms metal between flat or shaped dies without fully enclosing it, ideal for large and custom pieces. It is chosen when parts demand the specific combination of geometry, tolerance, material and volume that this process delivers best. Our engineers select and fine-tune the exact parameters for your application to balance performance, lead time and cost.
