Forging could considerably improve metal's organizational structure and mechanical property.
Forging offers uniformity of composition and structure. Forging results in metallurgical recrystalisation and grain refinement as a result of the thermal cycle and deformation process. This strengthens the resulting steel product particularly in terms of impact and shear strength.Forged steel is generally stronger and more reliable than castings part.

Product Introduction
1. Brief introduction for Forged Integrally +100% CNC Machined Pelton Turbine Runner
Forging could considerably improve metal’s organizational structure and mechanical property.
Forging offers uniformity of composition and structure. Forging results in metallurgical recrystalisation and grain refinement as a result of the thermal cycle and deformation process. This strengthens the resulting steel product particularly in terms of impact and shear strength.
Forged steel is generally stronger and more reliable than castings of same material due to the fact that the grain flows of the steel are altered, conforming to the shape of the part.
