GMH Gruppe closed-die forgings are noted for their maximum individuality and dimensional accuracy.

Production process

We supply closed-die forgings with the very maximum of specification accuracy: from die block preparation, via die assembly, the die-welding shop, heat treatment and the forging process, up to and including machine finishing. Our products, forged on high-power machines such as counterblow hammers with ratings of 160, 320, 400 and 630 kNm, a screw press of 45 MN and an eccentric press of 31.5 MN, are also supplied ready-to-fit and ready assembled.

Benefits

Together with our customers, we determine the absolutely optimum individual solution for each and every closed-die forgings - thanks, above all, to our in-house die and matrix shop, our facilities for simulation of the forming process, the supreme mastery of materials technology of our laboratory, in-house chip-removing machining, high levels of automation and - last but certainly not least - our highly experienced heat-treatment experts.
