aluminum
forgings
The
forging process and aluminum alloys ensure the best of great strength,
light weight and attractive appearance. Deeco Metals can meet your
expectations, whether your part is high precision and functional
or beautiful and decorative.
Aluminum Forgings are generally used in applications where the high
integrity of the part is of utmost importance. They are used primarily
for structural components such as the intake (front end) of Gas
turbine engines where light weight is crucial. In automotive applications,
forged components are commonly found at points of shock and stress.
Forged automobile components include connecting rods, crankshafts,
wheel spindles, axle beams, pistons, gears, and steering arms. Forgings
are also used in helicopters, piston-engine planes, commercial jets,
and supersonic military aircraft. Many aircraft are "designed
around" forgings and contain more than 450 structural forgings
as well as hundreds of forged engine parts. "Forged" is
the mark of quality in hand tools and hardware. Pliers, hammers,
sledgers, wrenches, garden implements, and surgical tools are almost
always produced through forging.
The aluminum components we manufacture range in weight from a few
ounces to a few hundred pounds, and are forged into a wide variety
of shapes and sizes with or without cores.
To prepare forged aluminum products for secondary machining and
assembly, Deeco Metals’ plants have in-house heat treating
capabilities. We offer other services such as finish machining,
anodizing, painting, powder coating, polishing assembly work, design
assistance, etc. We also have a variety of cleaning processes including
chemical, vibratory and shot-blast.
