Forging Die Design & Manufacture

Forging Die Design & Manufacture is a practical course focused on the design, development, and manufacturing of dies used in forging operations. The course introduces the basic principles of forging die design and explains how dies are designed according to component shape, material, and production requirements. Participants learn about die materials, die blocks, cavities, flash, draft angles, fillets, and allowances. The course covers different types of forging dies and their applications in industrial production. It explains the die design process from component drawing to final die manufacturing. Participants gain knowledge of machining, heat treatment, finishing, and inspection of forging dies. The course also covers common die defects, wear, failure causes, and methods to improve die life. Practical considerations such as die alignment, dimensional accuracy, and manufacturing tolerances are discussed. Modern manufacturing methods and quality control practices for forging dies are also introduced. By completing the course, participants can develop a better understanding of efficient, accurate, and durable forging die design and manufacture.
