Closed Die Forging

At Shailesh Forging Works, our closed die forging facility is designed to produce precision-engineered, high-strength metal parts using advanced forging presses and tightly controlled processes. This method is ideal for complex geometries, delivering consistent, repeatable results with minimal post-processing.

Whether you’re in need of automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, or industrial machinery components, our closed die forging capabilities ensure near-net-shaped products with outstanding mechanical integrity.

What is Closed Die Forging?

Closed die forging, also known as impression-die forging, involves shaping heated metal by pressing it into a mold or die cavity that contains the inverse shape of the final component.

Advantages include:

• High-dimensional accuracy
• Excellent surface finish
• Superior grain structure and strength
• Little to no machining required
• Ideal for the mass production of parts with consistent quality

Closed Die Forging Capabilities

Our facility is optimized to deliver a wide range of forged components with precise control over weight, shape, and metallurgy:

• Weight Range: 20 kg to 350 kg
• Applications: Flanges, gears, levers, yokes, shafts, couplings, hubs, bearing races, and various automotive and industrial parts
• Materials Forged: Carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, and specialty grades

Forging Equipment & Facilities

We are equipped with a fleet of heavy-duty hammers and presses that provide the force and control needed for repeatable, high-performance forgings:

• 4 Ton Zygmunt Hutta – 1 Unit (10000B)
• 6 Ton Zygmunt Hutta – 1 Unit (16000B)
• 8 Ton Russian Arrie – 1 Unit

These high-impact machines ensure:

• Excellent mold fill
• Superior part definition
• Uniform grain flow
• Low internal stress

Quality Control & Process Monitoring

Each closed die forging is subjected to a stringent quality assurance protocol, including:

• Dimensional verification
• Surface inspection
• Non-destructive testing (NDT) such as UT or MPI
• Heat treatment traceability
• Material traceability and certification

Our production and inspection teams ensure each component meets international standards and customer drawings.
