Ford Atlantic specializes in providing a wide range of custom commercial forgings for OEMs, contract manufacturers, and industrial buyers. We produce forged components to exact customer specifications and engineering drawings, supporting both short-run and high-volume production programs.
Through a network of qualified global manufacturing partners, Ford Atlantic offers diverse forging capabilities supported by professional tooling development and disciplined quality oversight. Our approach aligns engineering requirements, material selection, and cost objectives to deliver reliable forged components.
Forging is a manufacturing process that forms metal into high-strength components by applying controlled compressive force. Unlike casting or machining, forging reshapes the material without removing volume. Force is applied until the metal stretches beyond its yield point, allowing it to take the shape of the die without fracturing.
Forging can be performed using cold, warm, or hot processes depending on material type and final performance requirements. Hot forging is commonly used for larger structural components, while warm and cold forging are often applied when tighter tolerances or specific mechanical properties are required.
Ford Atlantic supports both prototype and high-production forging programs. Our factories provide a range of tooling configurations, from simpler open-die processes to more complex closed-die and precision forging operations.
Professional tooling production is available to ensure dimensional consistency, repeatability, and long-term cost efficiency. Tooling selection is determined by part geometry, material grade, production volume, and mechanical performance requirements.
Material selection is critical in forging applications due to load-bearing demands and environmental exposure. We produce forged components in:
Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, nickel, titanium, aluminum, Ferralium, and Hiduron.
Our engineering review process ensures material grades align with strength, corrosion resistance, and durability requirements specific to your industry.
In addition to primary forging, Ford Atlantic offers a full range of secondary machining and finishing services to deliver production-ready components.
Integrating secondary operations reduces supplier fragmentation and helps customers streamline procurement and quality control.
