Monitors and Analysers for Aluminium Forging - Metal - Aluminium

It is typically used for applications where safety or performance are important factors, but a lightweight metal is required. Forging typically requires the metal to be heated, which requires accurate temperature monitoring to prevent damage.

With decades of experience within the aluminium industry, AMETEK Land products provide dedicated temperature solutions for forging. The SPOT AL pyrometer delivers high accuracy with a fast response time, protecting metal pieces against damage from overheating.

Preheating and Forging

Before forging, a blank is preheated to temperatures typically around 550 °C (932 °F), depending on the alloy used. It is then worked between flat or shaped dies to produce the desired forged product.
