Castings and forgings are both common manufacturing methods of metal parts in the industry. At present, various metal structures that are common in our lives are basically created by these two methods. Although the uses are similar, these two processing methods have many differences, which is also where many people are confused. Below Brishine United Industry Co., Limited. Let me introduce the difference between forgings and castings.




1. Different definitions: A casting is a metal forming object obtained by casting with various models, and the obtained object has a certain shape, size and performance. Forgings refer to workpieces or blanks obtained by forging and deforming metal blanks.
2. Different performance: There are many liquid forming processes for casting metal, which makes the casting quality not stable enough. Compared with forgings of the same material, the liquid forming structure is loose, and defects such as shrinkage porosity and pores are easily generated inside. However, castings can cast parts with complex structures and have stronger mass production capabilities.
3. Different quality: Forgings are of higher quality than castings. The mechanical properties of forgings are better than those of castings, and they can withstand large impact forces and other heavy loads. Therefore, forgings are used for all important and high-stress parts.
