B. Die Castings
>The process of forcing molten metal under high pressure into mold cavities
(which are machined into dies). Small to medium in size; capable of high detail.
is often necessary.)
• Normalizing
– Reduces internal stresses and improves crystalline structure by application of
heat, maintaining temperature for appropriate duration, then slow cooling.
• Tempering
– Reduces hardness and increases toughness by application of heat, maintaining
for appropriate duration, then controlled cooling.
• Surface Hardening
– Increases surface hardness of wear parts by engineered application of heat by
flame (flame hardening) or induction coils (induction hardening).
donut shape), and then rolling and squeezing. Up to 9 meters (30 ft) diameter.
D. Cold Forgings
>Typically for smaller parts
> Including bending, cold drawing, cold heading, coining, extrusion, punching, etc
BCI Castings and Forgings
Forged Materials
used by BCI
• Carbon, Alloy and Stainless Steel
– Most ASTM grades and alloys available
– (For higher quantity orders, BCI can directly cast ASTM grades; for lower quantity
orders, conversion to Chinese GB or Japanese JIS standards is often necessary.)
• Aluminum
– Most ASTM grades and alloys available
– (For higher quantity orders, BCI can directly cast ASTM grades; for lower quantity
orders, conversion to Chinese GB or Japanese JIS standards is often necessary.)
• Induction hardening
– The localized surface heating of a forging by an electrically-heated
induction coil
