Advanced Forging
Forging transforms solid metal (typically heated) from one shape into another by applying high pressure between dies. This process achieves specific shapes and enhanced material properties.
Aluminum Precision Products offers an extensive range of die forging alloys, configurations, tempers, and sizes. Our team guides you through selecting the optimal forging process for your project, ensuring superior results from start to finish. The end product is cost-effective, high-strength, and exceeds design specifications. As a vertically integrated manufacturer, APP streamlines production from engineering to machining to assembly. Our project management system ensures all inspection and quality requirements are consistently monitored and achieved.
Closed Die Forgings
Closed die forging shapes metal by confining it within a precisely designed cavity between dies. This creates complex parts with exceptional strength as the metal flows into every contour under high pressure.
Your product requirements determine whether conventional or precision die forging is best for your application. APP’s team works with you to select the right approach based on performance needs, production volume, and cost factors.
Hand "Open Die" Forgings
Hand forging, also known as open die forging, creates rectangular or simple shapes by deforming metal between two flat dies. This traditional process eliminates the need for complex tooling while still delivering excellent material properties.
In open die forging, skilled operators manipulate the metal workpiece between strikes, allowing for greater flexibility in producing custom shapes with minimal setup costs. This method is particularly valuable for low-volume production, prototyping, or creating large components where closed die tooling would be impractical or cost-prohibitive.
Forged Wheels
APP produces precision-forged aluminum wheels in an extensive range of configurations for premium automotive applications. For street use, we offer one-piece wheels in sizes from 17″ to 23″ diameter. Performance applications are served by our 18″ to 22″ offerings for flat face, conical, and motorsport specifications.
Our capabilities extend to modular wheel components as well, with center discs for two-piece and three-piece wheel assemblies ranging from 15″ to 26″ in diameter. All APP forged wheels deliver the superior strength-to-weight ratio that only the forging process can achieve, resulting in wheels that provide optimal performance, distinctive aesthetics, and exceptional durability for both OEM and aftermarket applications.
Forged Pistons
APP manufactures precision-forged pistons that meet the demanding requirements of high-performance engines and OEM specifications. Our forged pistons deliver superior strength, durability, and thermal stability compared to cast alternatives, making them ideal for applications where reliability under extreme conditions is essential.
We supply these critical engine components to major automotive manufacturers, motorcycle producers, and motorsports teams worldwide. Each piston is engineered to exacting tolerances, optimizing grain flow and material properties to withstand the rigorous demands of high-compression, high-RPM, and turbocharged engines.
