Technology of Closed Die Forging

This course provides a practical understanding of the closed die forging process, where heated metal is shaped inside specially designed dies under high pressure. It introduces participants to the basic principles, equipment, tools, and materials used in closed die forging. The course explains different types of forging machines, dies, and die materials. Participants learn about billet preparation, heating methods, lubrication, and proper forging temperatures. It covers the sequence of operations involved in producing accurate forged components. The course also explains die design, material flow, flash formation, and methods for controlling forging defects. Participants gain knowledge of common defects such as cracks, laps, underfilling, and mismatches and their prevention methods. Quality inspection and dimensional control of forged components are also discussed. Safety practices for handling hot materials, forging equipment, and dies are included. Overall, the course helps learners develop the skills required for efficient, safe, and high-quality closed die forging production.
