The success of manufacturing critical components, such as ship shafts, gears, artillery or adaptor plates/rings, depends on their design and how well that design can be translated into a tangible, cost-effective, high-quality product. This is where Design for Manufacturability (DFM) comes into play. The significance of DFM rests in the forging process's role in creating a robust and resilient supply chain.
Speedy delivery of high quality, open die forgings, seamless and contoured rolled rings, and complex forged parts is essential to the growing wind energy sector
Specialty forgers can manufacture custom, high-quality, seamless rolled rings in a variety of materials and finishes in as little as eight weeks. Open die forgings and seamless rolled rings are essential components in the wind energy sector, contributing to the overall reliability and efficiency of turbines, generator systems, and transmission and distribution equipment.
The Forging Industry Association’s (FIA) Forge Fair, North America’s largest event dedicated exclusively to the forging industry, returned to the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, Ohio, May 23–25, 2023. More than 2,000 forging professionals from across the globe attended Forge Fair to learn about new products, make purchasing decisions, and network with each other. This specialized-industry event offered suppliers and forgers a platform to connect with more qualified potential customers. From material selection to the shipment of finished parts, Forge Fair showcased innovations in heating, tooling, equipment, testing, automation, conservation of resources, process and plant improvements, and technology for all types of forging operations.
