Creative Solutions for complex Problems

Aluminum Forging

The aluminum forging process is used in applications where performance and strength are critical requirements. Forged components are commonly found at points of stress and shock. Forged aluminum is ideal for applications where performance and safety are critical but a lighter-weight metal is needed for speed or energy efficiency.

The challenging and harsh environments necessitate structures that are strong and durable, but also lightweight. Forged aluminum's low density relative to steel makes it an ideal candidate for a variety of applications.

Brass Forging

Cerro's niche for forging brass parts is low to midsize volumes for parts weighing up to 30 lbs. depending on the geometry of the part.

Brass forgings offer many outstanding advantages over other competing manufacturing processes. Forgings add superior mechanical and physical properties created by heat and pressure when the die half compresses the malleable billet.

There is no porosity in the forging process.

Copper Forging

Cerro's niche for forging copper parts is low to midsize volumes for parts weighing up to 30 lbs., depending on the geometry of the part.

Copper forgings offer a number of advantages over other manufacturing processes. Forging adds superior mechanical and physical properties created by heat and pressure. Products manufactured from forged copper are able to withstand high temperatures and higher loads than other materials. They also perform well in high stress applications with lower failure rates than other materials. There is no porosity in the forging process.

Copper forging is a popular industrial application because of its electrical conductivity, malleability, heat, ductility, machinability and wear resistance.
