Forged casting is a process that combines casting and forging. In this method, molten metal is poured into a mold and then mechanically deformed to enhance the material’s mechanical properties. Forged casting is often used for parts that require high strength and toughness.
Applications: Aircraft components, automotive parts, and machinery.
Advantages:
Improves material strength and toughness.
Suitable for high-stress applications.
High precision and durability.
Disadvantages:
More expensive due to the additional forging process.
