At KAISER Aluminium-Umformtechnik GmbH, we forge both standard and custom-developed aluminium alloys. Our state-of-the-art machinery enables us to process part weights ranging from just a few grams to 9 kilograms, with press forces of up to 2,500 tons. This flexibility allows us to produce a wide range of products for various industries.

Drop forging is a material-saving forming process that enables the production of geometrically complex shapes with thin walls. At KAISER, we specialize in this process and use it to manufacture high-quality and precise aluminium products. A key advantage of Drop forging is the porosity-free and homogeneous nature of the products. The hot forming process compresses the material, leading to a uniform and solid material structure. These properties make the forged parts particularly robust and durable.

Compared to other processing methods, the forging process results in higher material strength. Drop forging optimizes the material structure, significantly increasing its strength. This is especially important for applications that must withstand high mechanical stresses.

The ideal forming temperature reduces the resistance of the material during the forming process. This facilitates the shaping of workpieces and allows for more complex shapes as well as the processing of materials with higher strength. Materials formed at ideal temperatures exhibit improved formability and ductility compared to cold forming. This allows the forming of materials that are brittle at room temperature. Additionally, when the forming process occurs at ideal temperatures, the wear on the forming tools is reduced. This contributes to a longer tool life and lowers maintenance costs.
