Our Forging Capabilities

US Drop Forge’s core production method is closed-die forgings. We offer a variety of methods and materials to ensure your company receives the products it needs at the highest possible quality and competitive prices.

Whichever process you select, you’ll receive high-quality forgings, routed through the most cost-effective forging process for your parts. No matter how demanding your specifications or requirements, we look forward to meeting them.

We offer two key processes, which are each variations of the closed-die forging process involving two dies pressed together under extreme force at an exact temperature:

• Drop hammer forging: This process is carried out on a series of die impressions using repeated blows to control the size and detail of the finished forging. The method supports large forgings and difficult-to-forge alloy materials thanks to the hammer’s ability to deliver multiple controlled blows.
• Press forging: This approach is carried out on a press with a succession of die impressions. Unlike drop hammer forging, there is just one blow with a controlled amount of force to control the size and detail of the finished forging.
