Aerospace components.

02

Automotive engine and transmission parts.

03

Industrial heavy machinery components.

04

Medical surgical tools and implants.

05

Consumer electronics casings and housings.

How it works

Liquid forging uses a die or mold into which molten metal is poured, high mechanical pressure is applied to the molten metal, and solidification under high pressure to improve the material properties, refine the grain structure, and ensure tight tolerances. This approach is particularly useful for producing parts that require both precision and high-performance material characteristics.

Features and benefits

Liquid forging combines the benefits of casting and forging, resulting in parts with superior mechanical properties. The high pressure applied during forging eliminates porosity and refines the grain structure, leading to improved strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance.

01

High-performance materials.

02

Improved durability and strength.

03

Improved fatigue and impact resistance.

04

Cost-effectiveness for complex geometries.

05

Reduced material waste.

06

Near-net-shape manufacturing.

07

Improved surface finishing compared to traditional die casting.

Forged to last and delivered fast

Our team leverages liquid forging to deliver high-quality components for volume production.

Scalability

Liquid forging allows for scalability, making it suitable for both low and high-volume production runs. This ensures that customers can meet varying production demands without sacrificing part quality or consistency.

Reliability

The liquid forging process enhances the material's resistance to fatigue and impact, making liquid-forged parts particularly suitable for critical applications where failure is not an option, such as in aerospace, automotive safety components, or high-performance machinery.

Reduced tooling and post-processing costs

The hybrid nature of liquid forging means that the parts are often closer to final specifications, requiring less machining or finishing work. Our approach reduces tooling and post-processing costs, which translates into cost savings for customers.

Unmatched liquid forging capabilities
