Creating a vehicle is no simple process. It requires intensive designing, various types of research, strategic planning, and a lengthy implementation of these designs, research and plans. Every single part making up a vehicle, whether half an inch or 40 feet in diameter also requires tedious planning. For many of these parts, forging is a vital process. Forging creates steel parts strong enough to ensure critical vehicle systems can withstand just about anything.

First, forging results in improved physical properties, creating a stronger metal. During the forging process, the metal’s grain flow changes into the shape of the part, making it stronger. This equates to a stronger product. More durable products equate to greater reliability, product lifespan and customer satisfaction.

While we live in an imperfect world, quality forging results in only miniscule imperfections. Since it is a complicated process, forging is generally more expensive when compared to casting. However, forging is suitable for mass production and thus, becomes cheaper in volume. Therefore, forging is increasingly competitive with other metal processing applications.

Turkey-based forging supplier Yapi-Tek Çelik Sanayi A.S. , is a manufacturer of custom and mass-produced hot forged steel products and forging dies. Its current production capacity is 20,000 tons per annum. Established in 1959, Yapi-Tek Çelik Sanayi was the first privately-held forging factory in Turkey.
