Alloy steel is also one of the most commonly used metals for drop forging. This is because drop forged alloy steel is known for being stronger, more wear resistant and tougher compared to carbon steel drop forgings. Alloy steel is considered to be iron-based alloys that has been alloyed or mixed with a variety of elements in the range of 1.00 – up to 50.0% to enhance the physical properties. The combination of alloys and elements forged together is what determines the phyical strengths and properties of the metal. Common alloys added are chromium, molybdenum, manganese, nickel, vanadium boron and silicon.

To achieve these properties of increased stregnth, resistance and toughness, alloy steel drop forging is typically done by heat treatment,also known as hot forging.Our company maintains an extensive inventory of alloy steel.Our most popular closed die alloy steels to forge include 20Cr,20CrMo,30CrMo,35CrMo,42CrMo,ect.

Carbon steel is steel in which the main interstitial alloying constituent is carbon in the range of 0.12–2.0% along with varying quantities of other elements such as tungsten,cobalt,and chromium. Generally in defining carbon steel, no minimum or maximum concentrations are quoted for these elements, although it is accepted that stainless steel does not qualify. In other words, concentrations of both the primary carbon and secondary alloying elements may be adjusted to suit the intended end purpose of the steel. For example, increasing the carbon content of the alloy increases its hardness while decreasing its ductility.Drop Forging is one of the oldest metal forming methods and involves repetitive manual or powered impact to force red hot steel into a certain shape.The metal is heated in medium frequency furnace and shaped between the two halves of dies to achieve its final form.

CFS Forge specializes in drop forgings, we have a proven reputation for custom high quality and affordable stainless steel drop forgings in a variety of sizes and quantities.

Stainless steel drop forgings from CFS company are produced from stainless steel round bars. Such material is widely used for manufacturing stainless steel valve body, pipe fittings (like tee,elbow,coupling,ect) and other products. In addition,we could offer precision machining service in house. If your current supplier is quoting in high price and long lead time, just turn to our company for your stainless steel drop forgings.
