The aluminum forging process at CFS Forge is a specialized manufacturing technique that utilizes high-strength aluminum alloys to produce durable, precision components. This process is particularly beneficial for aerospace, automotive, and marine industries where the strength-to-weight ratio of parts is critical.

Forged Aluminum Alloys
CFS Forge works with several high-performance aluminum alloys, each selected for specific properties and applications:

2014 Aluminum: Known for its high strength and excellent machinability, it is often used in aerospace applications, including aircraft fittings and structural components.

6061 Aluminum: This general-purpose alloy is known for its versatility, good corrosion resistance, weldability, and excellent mechanical properties. It is widely used in structural components for both aerospace and commercial applications.

6063 Aluminum: Often used in architectural applications for its good aesthetic finish, high corrosion resistance, and strength. It is also applied in frames and rails.

6082 Aluminum: Similar to 6061 but with higher strength, 6082 is used in structural applications that require high stress-resistance, such as trusses, bridges, cranes, and transport applications.

7075 Aluminum: One of the strongest aluminum alloys available, with excellent fatigue strength and average corrosion resistance. It is frequently used in aerospace and military applications, where its high strength-to-weight ratio is essential.

Forging Equipment
CFS Forge utilizes state-of-the-art forging equipment with capabilities ranging from 300 tons to 2,500 tons. This range allows us to efficiently produce small, intricate parts and large, structural components with equal precision and quality.

Value-Added Services
To enhance the properties and functionality of forged aluminum parts, CFS Forge offers several value-added services:

Heat Treatment: Its crucial for aluminum alloys to achieve desired properties such as increased hardness and strength. Specific treatments like annealing, quenching, and aging are applied depending on the alloy and the required characteristics.

CNC Machining: Post-forging, CNC machining is employed to achieve precise dimensions and tolerances. This is especially important for complex or tightly specified components.

Surface Finishing: Various surface finishing techniques, including anodizing, painting, and polishing, are used to improve surface properties, enhance appearance, and increase resistance to corrosion and wear.

Through these processes and technologies, CFS Forge ensures that our forged aluminum components meet the highest standards of quality and performance, tailored to the specific needs of its diverse clientele.
