Steel hot forging: Mecolpress solutions

Mecolpress boasts a very long experience as producer of mechanical and hydraulic presses for the realization of hot forged steel parts. For a complete and detailed overview of our presses, please contact our sales department.

For the hot forging of steel parts, it is possible to use mechanical or hydraulic presses according to the geometrical complexity of the part to be forged and to the features of the specific alloy used for the forging.

Steel is well-known for being a material having a considerable mechanical resistance and this characteristic makes it a material suitable for innumerable application sectors, including construction industry, automotive and railway sector.

Through the mechanical and hydraulic Mecolpress presses, it is possible to realize different types of parts, including for example screws and valves.

Mecolpress proposes to its customer companies different presses both mechanical and hydraulic for steel hot forging.

During the forging process of this material it is necessary to pay attention to the used energies and temperatures. Regarding the forging temperature of the billets, at presence of steel alloys, this goes approximately from 1.000°C to 1.200°C. The dies temperature is about 300°C, instead.

Moreover, during the steel hot forging process it is necessary to use the right lubricants in order not to wear the die and to optimize the production.

During the hot pressing of steel, the right lubricants must also be used in order to facilitate the flow of the material and the detachment of the same from the die. Mecolpress equips its presses with automatic lubrication systems with fixed or mobile points according to the specific application and in order to optimize the production process.

Our sales department remains at customer’s disposal to suggest the most suitable press to the production specific needs and, in addition, in the after-sale step it is possible to take advantage of a customized training course against payment, in order to learn all the tricks to make the best use of the bought press according to the production type.

The production cycle can be carried out completely automatically or manually according to the customer’s specific requests.

All the screw presses are customizable according to customer needs.
