Definition of Aluminum Forging Bar
Aluminum forged bar is a metal product made by shaping aluminum billets into bars through the forging process, which is known for its high strength, excellent toughness and dense structure. Compared to cast aluminum bars, they are free of internal porosity defects, have finer grains, and have superior mechanical properties. Southwest Aluminum (Kunshan) utilizes 630-10,000 ton forging equipment to produce aluminum forged bars that meet AMS and ASTM standards, which are widely used in aerospace (e.g., landing gear supports) and automotive (drive shafts) to meet the demand for high loads and high precision.
Large diameter aluminum forged bars are usually over 100mm in diameter and have the following characteristics:
High strength and light weight: such as 7075 alloy forged bar, the tensile strength can reach more than 500 MPa, while maintaining the light weight advantage of aluminum.
Uniformity and durability: The forging process ensures a uniform internal structure and high fatigue resistance for heavy machinery and marine components.
Processing Flexibility: Large-diameter design supports complex subsequent processing to meet customization needs.
Corrosion Resistance: Natural oxide layer allows it to excel in harsh environments, such as offshore.
Southwest Aluminum produces 10-meter forged ring technology extended to large-diameter forged bars, demonstrating its leading capability in oversized aluminum.
Professional Summary
Aluminum forged bars are built through the forging process to provide high strength, toughness, and a defect-free structure for high-performance scenarios such as aerospace and automotive. Large-diameter aluminum forging bars, on the other hand, stand out for their superior strength, uniformity and corrosion resistance, making them suitable for heavy-duty and large component manufacturing. With an annual capacity of 70,000 tons and ISO 9001 certification, Southwest Aluminum (Kunshan) ensures that its products are up to international standards. with aerospace demand (8% annual growth) and automotive lightweighting trend (7-8% annual growth) driving the market growth in 2025, the company is firmly at the forefront of the industry with its advanced forging technology and 24-hour customized service to meet buyers' expectations of high-performance, sustainable aluminum.
