Steel Forging Manufacturing Process
Material certification and verification → safe handling and categorized storage → preliminary quality screening → uniform heating to optimal forging temperature → precision open-die or closed-die forging → strength-enhancing quenching and tempering → intermediate inspection to confirm internal soundness → rough machining to achieve near-net shape → full non-destructive examination→ final dimensional inspection and quality validation → corrosion-preventive packaging → dispatch to the customer.
