Forging steel

Forging steels are intended for components manufactured through hot or cold forging processes requiring controlled deformation behavior and reliable mechanical properties after forming.

Their chemical composition is designed to provide suitable forgeability, controlled material flow, and consistent performance during subsequent machining and heat treatment operations.

Depending on the grade and alloying concept, the steels can be optimized for through-hardening, microalloyed forging, or controlled strength levels in the as-forged condition.

Typical applications include crankshafts, connecting rods, gears, axle components, flanges, and other forged machine and automotive parts.
