Closed Die Forging and Copper

Also referred to as impression die forging‚ this process differs from copper open-die forging in that the copper alloy is shaped completely inside the walls of two dies that come together. Your copper products are brought to a virtual "near net shape" of your final product. Although there are tooling charges associated with this process‚ these costs are recovered many times over by the cost savings listed below. There are 4 distinct advantages associated with copper closed die forgings and they include:

• -The ability to form the copper into complex shapes with closer dimensional tolerances.
• -The production of copper parts that are "near net shape" reduces the amount of input copper material that goes into the product and offers cost savings on raw copper material.
• -By producing "near net shape" copper parts‚ the machining requirements are greatly reduced over that of the open die process offering further cost savings per part.
• -The cost of copper tooling over higher volume is insignificant in the piece price‚ therefore offering the most economical solution for higher volume production programs.
  -Although initial deliveries of the copper parts may be longer than those in the open die process‚ typically a release program accompanies this process and delivery dates can be set up in advance.
