Why Metal Forging Is Vital for Industrial Strength: OEM Forging Services for the Turkish Market
Metal forging has been the foundation of industrial strength for centuries. In today's advanced manufacturing landscape, forged metal components continue to play a vital role—especially in high-load, high-stress environments such as machinery, energy, automotive, and constructionindustries.
As one of the rapidly growing industrial markets in the region, Turkey has seen rising demand for custom-forged metal parts. From closed-die steel forgings for mining equipment to precision aluminum forging for transport systems, Turkish buyers are increasingly turning to OEM forging suppliers for tailored, high-performance components.
In this article, we explore why forging matters, the different types of forging methods, and how companies like EATHU deliver custom OEM forging services to support Turkish importers and industrial clients.
Introduction to Metal Forging and Its Importance
Metal forging is a manufacturing process where metal is shaped using localized compressive forces—usually delivered by a hammer or press. This ancient technique has evolved into a high-tech industrial process known for producing:
Superior strength and grain alignment
Fatigue-resistant components
Minimal internal defects
Ideal geometry for load-bearing parts
In contrast to casting or machining, forging enhances the mechanical properties of metals, making it the preferred method for critical applications such as:
Crankshafts
Gear blanks
Connecting rods
Valve bodies
Lifting hooks and shackles
Types of Metal Forging Methods
There are several metal forging processes used in today’s industry. Each offers distinct advantages based on part geometry, material, and application.
Open-Die Forging
Used for large components (like turbine shafts or large blocks), where the metal is compressed between flat dies without enclosing the metal completely.
Closed-Die Forging (Impression Die)
The most common OEM forging method for medium and high-volume production. The metal is placed in a die cavity and pressed until it takes the exact shape.
Ideal for precision parts
Suitable for steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass
Cold Forging
Performed at room temperature for small parts with simpler geometry. Offers tight tolerances and surface finish but limited deformation capability.
At EATHU, we focus on closed-die forging for steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals, especially suited for industrial clients in Turkey and Europe.
Why Turkish Industries Demand High-Strength Forged Components
As Turkey continues to expand its domestic manufacturing and infrastructure sectors, forged components have become essential in:
Energy and Mining
Valves, pump components, lifting eyes, and pressure-resistance parts
Construction and Infrastructure
Forged anchors, couplings, and support elements for heavy-duty equipment
Automotive and Railway
Axle parts, control arms, forged wheel hubs
Defense and Aerospace
High-integrity parts requiring strength-to-weight ratio and low failure rate
Forged parts provide higher load capacity, better safety margins, and reduced risk of failure—all critical for demanding Turkish industrial environments.
OEM Metal Forging: Customized Solutions for Turkish Importers
Most Turkish industrial buyers do not want off-the-shelf forgings—they require parts customized to their designs, loads, and tolerances. That’s why OEM forging services are the ideal solution.
Advantages of OEM forging:
Made to Drawing (MTD): Parts match exact dimensions and materials
Material Flexibility: Choose from carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper alloys
Performance Assurance: Full mechanical testing, heat treatment, and surface finishing
Global Sourcing Support: Cost-effective and scalable production in Asia
Intellectual Property (IP) Protection: Your designs remain yours
EATHU works as a trusted OEM forging exporter for Turkish buyers, adapting our process to your exact industrial needs.

Case Example: Forged Pipe Fittings for a Turkish Construction Client
A Turkish engineering company required a custom line of forged pipe elbows and couplings for a large-scale infrastructure project. Their specs included:
Material: ASTM A105 carbon steel
Tolerances: ±0.1mm
Surface: Black oxide coated
Qty: 15,000 units/year
We delivered:
Rapid mold development within 12 days
Full sample approval including NDT reports
Batch production with CNC finishing
Timely shipping with Turkish labeling and pallet packaging
The client now sources all forged fittings from EATHU on an annual contract.
