Before seeking steel forgings from China or once you are ready to place your first order to a potential steel forging supplier in China, you need to be very careful for the choice you make, which Chinese manufacturer you should go? There are terrible stories, consequence of wrong choices made, that I heard more than once […]
You might hear from someone that steel forgings from China are bad quality, but still many companies are purchasing forgings from China, some of them with bigger purchase volume even set their own steel forging sourcing office in China. I don’t think these companies are all stupid, then why is that? The answer is China […]
“Forging” is the generic term that describes a metal working process by forming metal workpieces with heat and high pressure, which differs from casting (see difference between forging and casting). The forging of metals is one of the oldest working techniques of mankind. Today we would like to introduce how forging process is developed since […]
Forging is one of the common manufacturing processes, that shapes a metal piece by applying compressive forces on it. Forging could be performed under different temperature conditions, like hot forging, warm forging and cold forging. The forging process uses hammers or presses to squeeze and deform the material into high strength parts. The forging manufacturing […]
Hammer unions are widely applied throughout the energy industry. There are many sizes, shapes and pressure ratings of hammer unions, and when used correctly they are a safe and reliable means of transporting fluid. Perhaps one of the most critical elements to correct hammer union use is that the two halves are compatible. There are, […]
Closed die forging is used as a single-pass process for the production of very simple forgings and as a multiple-pass process for parts with complex shapes. Multiple-pass forging includes preparatory operations (shaping of blanks), which is followed by the final stamping. Multiple-pass forging is performed on mechanized or automatic equipment, in hydraulic presses capable of a force […]
Weld on D-ring or welded D-ring has a multitude of use. They are used primarily as temporary lifting (suspension) points on unwieldy structures and fabrications. The “D” Rings are also used for “tie-down” points on similar objects for secure transport. Available in Weld-On only. Each type of weld on D ring has a weight load […]
Hooks may be used in a wide variety of applications for lifting, rigging, towing, pulling, and securing. In many of these applications hooks are frequently used in conjunction with chain. There are specialty custom hooks to be used for rigging and lifting applications. There are many types of forged hooks that can be supplied by CFS Forge […]
Closed die forging is one of the forging methods that produces a desired part in which dies move towards each other and covers the piece in whole or in part. Closed die forging process begins with heated round bars, which is cut to the shape or size of the final forged part, then be placed […]
Shackles are the parts mostly used in every rigging, lifting, and material handling equipments. They serve as a critical function of connecting various pieces of lifting equipment together. Such a powerful part requires proper handling and knowledge in order to unleash its full potential. Shackles are what we like to call ‘The Industry Workhorse.’ They are […]
