Het grote verschil met collega-bedrijven in Europa die machinaal verwerken is, dat wij bijvoorbeeld aluminium onderscheiden in profiel, plaat, gegoten en geslagen, terwijl Europese mechanische verwerking door de shredderbewerking van al het aluminium een mix maakt

forged (metal)


Explanation:
Forgings
Forging is a manufacturing process in which metal is pressed, pounded, or squeezed under great pressure into high-strength parts. This is usually done by heating the metal, but some forgings are produced without heat.

The Forging Process
The three basic types of aluminum alloy forgings are: open-die forgings, closed-die forgings, and rolled rings.

In open-die forging, the work component is not completely confined as it is being shaped by the dies. This process is commonly associated with large parts such as shafts, sleeves, and disks. The part’s weight can range from 5 to 500,000 lbs.
