Drop Forging

Durable and pore-free components by drop forging

Drop forging creates forgings with an optimal fiber alignment and first-class strength. The forgings convince through a homogeneous, dense structure, which has neither pores nor other cavities.

Forgings are reproducible with only one tool in large numbers at constant precision.

With over 40 years of experience in drop forging, we have excellent expertise in this field and are the ideal manufacturer for you. According to your ideas and goals, we determine the process, alloy and the properties of the component in a joint consultation.
