Forging

Cerro Fabricated Products, a leading forging company, has truly taken the art of closed die hot forging and turned it into a precise science. Here at our facility, we have more than 30 forge and trim presses at our disposal, giving us extensive in-house capabilities.

Our expert team is able to create precision forgings with near-finished dimensions to reduce final machining time and minimize waste. Plus, our forgings have grain structures that are superior to the original billet for enhanced strength and performance. As a result, we offer our customers components at a lower overall cost.

We use D-Form simulation software to experiment with different die designs to optimize material flow and metal utilization prior to creating our final production dies. In addition, we have in-house fluid-penetrant testing (FPT) equipment to maintain the highest standards of quality throughout the manufacturing cycle. Notably, we perform CMM dimensional checks in-house to confirm that all of our forgings are within dimensional tolerances throughout the entire production run.
