滝口製作所 Product Lineup

As part of our external appeal for forged products, we developed our first in-house product. By reverse engineering the shape from genuine parts using a 3D scanner, we designed a shape suitable for forging with 3D CAD, conducted CAE analysis for strength evaluation, and produced a prototype with a 3D printer. This allowed us to successfully pursue a shape that is easy to forge in a short period of about two months from planning to prototyping. Utilizing the equipment we have as a forging factory, we also carried out mold production, forging, and post-processing in-house, which helped reduce costs by internalizing a significant factor that increases the cost of forged products. After sales, we have received positive feedback from many customers.

Forging stainless steel materials tends to be more difficult than forging carbon steels like S45C due to poorer workability and release properties. While release properties are significantly influenced by the forging shape, one reason for the reduced release properties in stainless steel is the considerably lower occurrence of scale that can provide a certain level of release properties compared to carbon steel. Our company has accumulated extensive experience in stainless steel forging and has successfully improved release properties during forging while ensuring processing speed with air stamp hammers. Please feel free to contact us if you are facing challenges with stainless steel forging.
