In open die steel forging, a hammer strikes and deforms the workpiece, which is placed on a stationary anvil. Open die steel forging gets its name from the fact that the dies (the surfaces that are in contact with the workpiece) do not enclose the workpiece, allowing it to flow except where contacted by the dies. The operator, therefore, needs to orient and position the workpiece to get the desired shape.

Open die steel forging is an important technique for many types of manufacturing. It allows rough and finished shapes of many different steel grades. This type of forging is typically used for very large workpieces; we can supply forged parts up to 300,000 pounds.
Open die forged parts are commonly used in the oil and gas, aerospace, mining and construction industries. High-pressure equipment especially benefits from the tough internal structure created in the open die forging process.
There is no end to the shapes and parts that can be created using open die forging, some examples include:
As a leading forgings supplier, Philadelphia Forgings is pleased to offer many products forged through the open die forging process. Open die forging is a type of hot forging and is used most commonly to produce larger and simpler parts. Open die forging produces parts that exhibit high strength, soundness, homogeneity, flow line characteristics, and durability; today open die forgings are produced in weights that range from a few pounds to thousands of pounds.

Open die forging is a process where the material is not confined laterally as in closed die forging; it is instead performed between two flat dies that have no impression made in them. In open die forging, the movement of the work piece is instrumental to forging the metal into the proper shape. Depending on the capabilities of the forging shop, the size of open die forgings is limited only by the size of the original stock. Philadelphia Forgings offers open die forgings in weights ranging up to 80,000 pounds.
Many types of metals can be forged through the open die process, however, among the most common are carbon steel and alloy steel as well as stainless steel, copper alloy, high temperature alloy, Inconel®, and many more.

Products created through open die forging are inherently superior in strength and durability than parts that are machined or welded. Open die forging changes the metal to the desired shape while breaking up the cast structure and producing finer grains. Furthermore, low density areas, microshrinkage, and gas porosity are consolidated which improves the mechanical properties, enhances the density, and aligns the grain flow. Advanced forging shops can produce unique shapes, making open die forging an excellent choice for providing custom metal parts.
