Open Die Steel Forgings
Product/Service Name
Semi Finished Open Die Steel Forgings
Function/ApplicationsForging Solutions since 1918. For over 80 years CGC Kymon has been defining quality and customer service in the Australian Open Die Forging Industry. Today, we operate two modern open die facilities in Australia for the local and international markets. Our customers around the world depend on our products and services. We deliver custom open die forged components from 1kgs to 6,000kgs.
Quality, cost savings and customer service are key components of our success. When high integrity open die steel forgings are specified, CGC Kymon is the industry preference.
CGC Kymon customizes products for diverse markets--from metal service centres and job shops, to end-use markets like construction and mining.
So whether you need a forged shaft for a shipbuilding requirement, or a forged hub for a gear application, we can help you. With our vast inventory … flexible shapes and quantities and value-added options from "as-forged" to rough machined and heat treated parts … CGC Kymon provides a single source for many different industry needs.

Differentiating FeaturesWhy Choose CGC Kymon Open Die Forgings?
- Greater strength
- Only the open die forging process can yield a grain structure oriented to the part shape, resulting in optimum toughness, ductility, impact strength and fatigue strength.
- Fewer defects
- Open Die Forgings are produced from the cleanest steels - thereby minimizing non-metallic inclusions and retained gases which can embrittle castings and plate.
- Under the Microscope
- Open Die Forgings have a much more uniform structure and finer grain size than castings or plate resulting in more predictable and uniform mechanical properties as well as higher yield strengths for any given hardness level. Conversely, localized "soft spots" in castings & plate can develop into cracks and laminations respectively.
- Made to Order
- Open Die Forging is often the only metalworking process available with certain grades in desired sizes.
- Economical
- Open Die Forging has no pattern or die costs. In addition, forgings are produced close to final shape thereby minimizing material waste. As material costs increase, forgings become a cost effective alternative to the wasteful process of flame cutting.
- Reliability
- When reliability is critical, design engineers will often specify forgings. The combination of strength, ductility, uniformity, and cleanliness is unmatched by alternative products.
