Forging

Forging involves making, marking, or embossing an image, logo, or part reference through plastic deformation of the material. KUCHLY company produces custom markings of logos, part references, or even embossed decorations for many of its customers.

Forging Die

We create an inverted marking punch of the desired forging to transfer the embossed image by manipulating the metal deformation. These different forging molds allow for this type of marking in the sheet metal through deformation.

How Forging Works

The forging technique involves displacing the material in an area beyond its elastic limit without causing it to rupture. The forging action is therefore a transfer of an image or shape in relief that is permanently engraved in the part.

The forging technique is similar to die forging. The differences between these two processes lie in the materials used: forging focuses on the deformation of steels, primarily composed of Iron (chemical symbol Fe), while die forging is used for non-ferrous metals such as Copper (Cu) and aluminum (Al) or alloys like Brass, which is mainly a combination of copper and Zinc (Cu + Zn)

Our Forging Projects

We produce custom forged parts with personalized markings: logos, references, production dates, or serial numbers. This individual traceability is particularly suitable for demanding sectors such as railway and aeronautics.

The Advantages of Forging

Forging is a technique that combines all the advantages of the forging manufacturing process. It offers good repeatability, surface finish, improved mechanical properties due to the strain hardening of the area, and grain alignment in the metal stress zones related to deformation.
