Deeco Metals manufactures Brass, Copper, Steel, Stainless Steel and Aluminum Forgings

In cooperation with our sales, engineering and manufacturing experts, Deeco Metals excels in supplying the best possible forged components for your application at very competitive prices. Our qualified team offers ways to reduce your costs by 20% or more and also offers you a one stop shop for all metal parts.

We offer low priced forging tools with quick turnaround times. A large majority of the forging tools are manufactured on site at our plant, this resulting in shorter lead times on new products as well as faster resolution of tooling issues on existing products.

First article samples as well as prototypes are offered for approval before production begins.

We also offer many secondary operations such as machining, polishing, plating, powder coating, anodizing, painting and assembly.

For your convenience we can also provide delivery programs such as "Blanket Orders with Scheduled Releases" or "Just In Time" (JIT) programs from our Hillside, NJ warehouse designed to fit your requirements.

Our Forging Procedure:

First we cut slugs from round rods or shapes by sawing to the desired length. The slugs are then heated to forging temperature for the specific alloy (i.e.1200 to 1600 degrees F. for brass, 700 to 900 degrees F. for aluminum, etc.). After heating, the slug is placed between the forge dies in the forge press. The action of the press exerts tremendous pressure, squeezing the metal into the shape of the die cavities and causing the part to take form. This action imparts strength to the part and refines the grain structure.

When forging a part, there is always excess metal in the slug to assure that the die cavities will be completely filled. As the part takes shape under pressure, the excess metal is squeezed out into a "gutter" which is provided around the die cavities. Excess metal, called "flash", remains attached to the forging when it is ejected from the die; it is later removed by a trimming operation performed on a punch press. Once trimmed, the forging is finished. However, if machining is required, the forged part can easily be turned, drilled, tapped, milled, etc.

Automation is used to facilitate high output rates for volume items, while difficult products with technical challenges are manufactured using manual operations.

Deeco’s forging presses range in size from 45 tons to 1600 tons and our technology ranges from mechanical crank to friction screw. Heating is either gas or electric depending on the alloy being forged. Cold forging has also been used to manufacture aluminum alloy forgings. Totals of 47 forging presses as well as other state of the art equipment are used to produce over 10,000 different components in large or small runs.

Deeco Metals supplies Forgings to many different industries all throughout the world. These industries include the architectural, door & window, marine, plumbing and sporting equipment industries as well as many others.
