What is Hot Forging？
- Hot forging is a forging process in which the metal material is heated above its recrystallization temperature and then pressed.
- The temperature of hot forging may be as high as 2200°F (about 1204°C) to 2400°F (about 1316°C).
- Plastic deformation above the recrystallization temperature can permanently change the shape of the metal.

What are the Differences Between Hot and Cold Forging?
The cold forging manufacturing process increases the strength of a metal through strain hardening at a room temperature. On the contrary the hot forging manufacturing process keeps materials from strain hardening at high temperature, which results in optimum yield strength, low hardness and high ductility.
Finally, a manufacturer would choose one process over the other because of economic and not quality reasons. The decision is based on the required functions of the desired component, the industry and if it’s a mass production or a low volume of customized parts.
VMT provides cold, warm and hot forging or combination of different processes to address various customer demands, both performed in excellent conditions with state-of-the-art machinery for perfect results. We work close with our customers to understand their specific needs and find the best possible solution.

The Hot Forging Manufacturing Process
The hot forging manufacturing process is performed at extreme high temperature (up to 1150 °C for steel, 360 to 520 °C for al-alloys, 700 to 800 °C for cu-alloys). This temperature is necessary in order to avoid strain hardening of the metal during deformation. Stamping is the most widespread hot forging manufacturing process, where the material is squeezed in a press, between a tool and a die surface.
Cost Efficiency in Hot Forging
The minimization of energy costs during hot forging is an ongoing concern of every manufacturer. Those can be optimized when using an inductor and a billet with matching diameters and installing a flexible multi-stage heating system.
All applied tools should be optimized for the following innovative technologies:
Metallurgy: consolidated vacuum, powder metallurgy
Reloading
Heat treatment
Surface treatment: nitriding, carburizing and duplex treatment
Hot Forging Materials
Hot forging can be used to fabricate a broad spectrum of parts, and can be performed with most metal materials, including:
- Carbon steel
- Aluminum
- Titanium
- Copper
- Nickel alloys
Advantages of Hot Forging:
- Good ductility
- Excellent surface quality
- Increased flexibility
- Good for custom parts
