Forging is one of the many ways to machine raw metals. And we implement a technique known as “extrusion forging” to manufacture our products. The process of extrusion forging is applying a great amount of pressure continuously on to a metal billet in a die cast, molding the metal into the initial form of our product. Forging methods can be sorted into 3 types: open die forging, closed die forging, and ring rolled forging, AFT implemented open die and closed die forging in our factories. Open die forging is suitable for larger products, while closed die forging is fit for products that are more sophisticated with more attention-to-detail needed.

Compared to casting, forging provides better strength, more consistency, tightened grain structure, and a longer product lifespan.

Our Aluminium Tooling Plate is supplied in a 5000 series alloy. It is a cast product with both top and bottom surfaces machined to provide excellent thickness tolerances (+/-0.1mm).

It has observed that the optimal pouring temperature range of aluminum alloys are 680°C to 750°C. At this range, the aluminum casting parts are produced with good mechanical properties and casting quality.

Aluminum forging is a process that places aluminum alloys under pressure to form high strength, durable parts. The process of aluminum forging involves pressing, pounding, and squeezing an aluminum billet under great pressure to create parts that have high strength.
