Forging
XY | Forging Solutions for Custom Metal Components
Forging is a traditional yet advanced metal manufacturing process in which a metal billet is subjected to compressive forces to shape it, either at elevated temperatures (hot forging) or at room temperature (cold forging). This process refines the internal grain structure, aligns metal flow lines, and significantly enhances material strength, fatigue resistance, and overall stability.
At XY, forging is a core process for producing high-load structural components and high-performance mechanical parts. Depending on product requirements, we flexibly apply hot forging or cold forging to balance performance, precision, and cost-efficiency.
Why Forging at XY
Comprehensive Expertise: XY combines decades of forging experience with advanced processing equipment,precision die design, and rigorous quality control to deliver full-chain services—from component design and material selection to forming and post-processing.
