Casting and Forging Processes

We choose the process from the part, not from the equipment one factory happens to own. That is the main reason to work through a supply chain of more than thirty factories.

Overview

Casting and Forging Processes at Jianheng Metal

As a global metal parts supplier we need to meet the demands of customers in different industries and different regions. Facing diversified product requirements, we have organised different production casting processes to meet the needs of different customers. The current product technology covers most product areas, including cast iron, cast steel, non ferrous alloys and some special material metal parts.

The diversified casting process also covers parts of different sizes and weights, from a few grams to tens of tonnes. We continuously optimise the production process in order to provide the best value production solution.

We supply many products produced by forging as well. Open and closed die forging covers most kinds of products in carbon steel, alloy steel, aluminium and other materials. Rolled ring forging is used for ring parts in many steel grades, and cold rotary forging is used for small parts mainly in aluminium and copper alloy.

FAQ

Questions About Casting and Forging Processes

How do you decide which casting process to use?

We choose the process based on casting type and requirement, so that the right process gives the right quality. Size, wall thickness, tolerance class, surface finish and annual quantity all feed into it. In some cases we also reduce production cost by changing the process for an existing part.

What tolerance can each process hold?

Green sand gives CT11 to CT14, resin sand CT10 to CT11, and shell moulding, lost foam and vacuum process CT7 to CT9. Tighter features are normally machined.

What is the largest casting you can produce?

The vacuum process handles parts up to about 10 000 kg per piece. Overall the range runs from a few grams to tens of tonnes depending on process and material.

Can changing the process reduce my cost?

Often yes. Producing the same casting by a different process gives different advantages. We analyse the part and the requirement, discuss the trade offs with you and then choose the best solution.

Do you make the tooling?

Yes. Pattern, core box and die tooling is quoted separately from the piece price and is held for your repeat orders.
