42CrMo4 alloy is a high grade steel alloy containing Ferro (Fe) rest, Carbon (C) 0.38-0.45, Chromium (Cr) 0.90-1.20, Molybdenum (Mo) 0.15-0.25, Silicon (Si) 0.17-0.37, Manganese (Mn) 0.50-0.80, Sulphur (S). Many automotive companies and auto parts manufacturers use 42CrMo4 alloy to produce OEM and aftermarket auto parts by Cold Forging. This material is commonly used to make […]
Read More →Aluminum metal is the most common and easy material to use during the process of cold forging. Due to the ductile nature of aluminum, complex shapes can be efficiently forged with intricate details and with less pressure. Aluminum forging can also be performed under low temperatures, and even forged cold. Aluminum forging is similar to […]
