At Andre Laurent, we fully master our manufacturing and drop forging processes in order to produce high quality long-lasting parts and work pieces that fit your machines.
Thanks to a reliable equipment of 5 screw presses from 100 to 800 tons and a qualified staff, we are able to propose drop forging and metal shaping solutionsthat ensure several advantages :
...Finally, through the forging process we improve our cost prices and thus our competitiveness. The mechanical properties of the forged components are optimized, our environment is respected in conformity with our certification ISO 14001, and additionally we strengthen our customers' confidence... These advantages are: - Savings on raw material, as the final shape of the part is approached by the forging process... The advantages of forging are numerous, especially with high-quality materials, like duplex or super duplex, stainless steel, inconel, copper and titanium... Our forging workshop is equipped by two means of heating: Induction and conduction... Discover the advantages of forging... Savings on raw material, as the final shape of the part is approached by the forging process. Savings on Machining, because the forging process contributes to a reduced number of turning operations. Enhanced mechanical properties, because forging creates a continuous fiber course of material and a finer grain size. ...
...During this operation, the diameter of the flange obtained by forging varies little compared to that of the finished part... During this operation, the diameter of the flange obtained by forging varies little compared to that of the finished part... On the other hand, as the part is quite long, this flange made by forging contributes to a drastic reduction of the raw material cost. In fact, forging is the ideal solution for decreasing raw material costs while ensuring higher mechanical characteristics. The higher the mechanical properties must be, the more the forging process must be selected...
...Each forging press is equipped with an automatic workpiece handling device of the heating unit... During this forging operation, the blank looks more like a mechanical assembly element than a special screw...
