Aluminum Forgings

Aluminum, the second most widely used metal after iron, is the most abundant metallic element in the Earth’s crust. Its versatility is owed to its numerous advantageous properties. Being lighter than steel, aluminum possesses high thermal and electrical conductivity, excellent corrosion resistance in most conditions, and can be easily cast or forged for a diverse array of applications.

Compared to castings, aluminum forgings offer maximum impact strength, superior internal integrity, and the ability to eliminate internal voids. This is particularly useful in harsh environments or where speed and energy efficiency are critical, such as aerospace components and mechanical parts subjected to high pressure.
