Press forging is a precision manufacturing process that delivers superior structural integrity and consistency for complex metal components.

By applying continuous, controlled pressure, rather than impact, our range of 100 to 1400-ton presses ensures uniform material flow, resulting in exceptional dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance.

Brooks Forgings is one of the UK’s largest producers of closed impression die forgings. This method is the industry standard for sectors requiring high-performance parts, including defence, marine, gas utilities, and healthcare. We work extensively with a broad spectrum of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys, including aluminium, brass, and copper.


Key Advantages Of Press Forging

Press forging provides a unique synergy of metallurgical refinement and production efficiency, making it the ideal choice for high-volume requirements.

Refined Grain Structure

Continuous pressure forces raw material to flow uniformly into the die cavity, eliminating internal porosity and creating a dense, fatigue-resistant grain structure that outperforms cast or machined alternatives.

Intricate Geometry

Utilising advanced injection and coring capabilities, our presses can form complex shapes, thin walls, and deep impressions with high repeatability and strict dimensional consistency.

Near-Net Shape Efficiency

By forging components closer to their final dimensions, we minimise material waste and significantly reduce the need for secondary machining, resulting in a highly cost-effective production solution.

The Press Forging Process

We combine cutting-edge technology with extensive manufacturing expertise to meet the most demanding industrial standards.

Our facility utilises a comprehensive combination of friction, crank, and sub-press types, allowing us to tailor the forging approach to the specific requirements of your component. This versatility ensures that we can handle everything from high-volume automotive parts to specialised hydraulic and industrial components.

From initial concept to final production, the press forging process ensures that the internal grain flow follows the contours of the part, providing superior strength where it matters most. Whether you are seeking to replace a cast component with a stronger forged alternative or require a complex shape produced in high volumes, our press forging capabilities provide the foundation for robust, reliable engineering.
