Project Profile - FORGED ITMES

Introduction

         Forging is a process of metal forming in which hot metal at particular temperature is pressed in die at particular pressure. Forging may be carried out in either open or closed die. In open forging, flat dies are used whereas in closed forging, dies of intricate shape are used. Dies are prepared by special steel and suitably heat treated to have proper hardness and toughness so that these are capable of pressing the hot metal in without any deformation in the die during forging. In open forging, metal takes the shape of the die. The properties of forged items are considered to be better than other metal forming processes. Forged items are generally used in automobiles, railways, mining, agricultural implements, power generation etc. Rolls, shafts, gear blanks connecting rods, hooks, hubs, brackets, chain link, hand tools, fasteners, pins, hammer, pick axe, plough etc. are main forged items.

Market Potential

         Forged items are generally consumed in industrial product used in various fields as mentioned above. Due to its vast applications in different industries sector, market prospect of forged items is considered to be very good. Automobile industry is growing very fast in the country, which is the major consumer of forged items. So the future prospect of the forging unit is very bright.

Basis and Presumptions

        1.         The unit will run single shift of 8 hours and utilize 60% of its capacity in the first year. However, for calculation                     purpose cent percent capacity utilization has been considered.
        2.         25% margin money is required by the promoter
        3.         Interest rate on total investment has been considered as 18%.
        4.         Payback period will be of 5 years with a moratorium of one year
        5.         The land and labour costs are considered at the prevailing rates

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

         Raw materials such as steel ingot, bloom, bittels etc. will be cut to the required length. Thereafter, it will be heated in oil-fired furnace. After attaining required temperature of the stock, it is removed from the furnace with the help of some suitable tackles and subjected to open or closed die forging. In open forging, several strokes are applied on the work piece so long as it is hot and retains forging temperature. Constant heating and forging gives the final shape of the product. But in closed dies forging, different shapes of work piece are prepared with the help of die. Trimming is carried out to remove the fins on the finished product. Thereafter, normalizing heat treatment is carried out to impart the required properties.

Quality and Standards

         Forged items are manufactured as per the specification and also as per customer’s specifications. Tensile testing, hardness testing, chemical testing and metallurgical testings are required to control the quality and standards of forged items. A full-fledged laboratory having chemical, metallurgical and mechanical testing facilities is essential for a forging unit.
