Advantage

The design of forged steel and the abrasive tools for its production require an initial cost. However, it requires a low cost of regeneration per part, so reducing the cost of forging large volume steel parts can be achieved.

During the forging process, when the grain structure inside the metal is deformed, the deformation process of the grain spreads throughout the metal parts, and the forged parts can be shaped into the designed appearance. As a result, the ductility of forged steel is improved. The ductility and weight ratio of forged steel is at least 20% higher than that of carbon steel.

The difference with cast steel

The difference between forged steel and cast steel is mainly reflected in the difference of steel processing technology (forging and casting). Forging is a plastic deformation process, while casting is a liquid forming process.

Forged steel refers to a variety of forged materials and forgings produced by forging methods. The plasticity, toughness and other mechanical properties of forged steel parts are higher than those of cast steel parts and can withstand greater impact force, so some important machine parts are made of forged steel parts.

Cast steel refers to a steel casting produced by casting method, which is a kind of casting alloy. Cast steel can be divided into three categories: cast carbon steel, cast low alloy steel and cast special steel. Cast steel is mainly used to manufacture some complex shapes, difficult to forge or cut forming and require high strength and plasticity parts.
