Press Forging

Our press forging capabilities range from 100 to 1400 tons, utilising a combination of friction, crank, vice, and sub press types.

Brooks Forgings Ltd offer a comprehensive range of in-house manufacturing processes, making us one of the largest producers of closed impression die ferrous and non-ferrous forgings in the UK.

This method of manufacture is favoured by companies operating in many sectors including gas utilities, health care, marine, and defence, looking for forged components in metal alloys such as aluminium, brass, and copper.

The benefits of Press Forging

Press forging provides superior integrity and dimensional accuracy by applying controlled, continuous pressure.

Refined Grain Structure 
The applied pressure allows the raw material to flow more uniformly into the die cavity, eliminating internal porosity and refining the metal’s grain structure. This results in exceptional strength and fatigue resistance.

Complex Geometries
With our advanced injection and coring capabilities, our presses can form intricate shapes, thin walls, and deep impressions with high dimensional accuracy and consistency.

Near-Net Shape Production
Press forging enables us to produce components that are closer to their final dimensions. This significantly reduces the need for complex secondary machining processes, thereby lowering material waste and final production costs.

From initial concept to final production, we combine cutting-edge technology with extensive manufacturing expertise to deliver high-integrity components that meet the most demanding industrial standards.
