Forging the Future: Exploring Aluminium Forging Capabilities at Bombay Metrics

Aluminium Forging is a metalworking process that shapes aluminium alloys using compressive forces.
This process enhances the material’s properties by refining its internal grain structure, eliminating porosity, and aligning the grain flow with the part’s contour.
The result is a component with significantly improved mechanical properties compared to cast or machined parts,
particularly in terms of strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance.
Bombay Metrics is witnessing growing demand from the automotive and aerospace sectors for high-strength, lightweight components,
driven by the shift towards electric vehicles and fuel efficiency.

Advantages of Aluminium Forging

• Surface Quality: Forging can produce a variety of surface finishes, including smooth surfaces and sharper serrations, making it versatile for different applications.
• Dimensional Control: Forged parts can have tighter dimensional tolerances, especially for parts that have undergone subsequent machining.
• Lightweight with Strength: Provides high mechanical strength while reducing overall weight.
• Superior Grain Structure: Forging refines the grain flow for improved toughness, mechanical properties, and fatigue resistance.
• Cost-Effective: Near-net shapes reduce machining and material wastage.
• Versatility: Capable of producing both simple and highly complex geometries.
