Extending Die Life | Aerospace Forging & Machining
Aerospace Industry
Case study for Aerospace Forging
Heavy wear in dies Dies have degraded geometry due to wear; replacing them is expensive & time-consuming.
Our Approach
• Combined slow cuts & heavy cuts as appropriate.
• Optimised coolant flow and cutting paths to handle the stresses inherent in forged metals
• Die Refurbishment
What We Did
• Machining to restore worn geometry.
• Re-building with welds where base material was lost.
• Heat treatment or stabilisation to restore original material properties.
Quality Control
• Dimensional inspections (CMM Inspection Services etc.)
• Surface finish checks.
• Geometry & distortion measurements.
• Ensured compliance with aerospace standard tolerances.
