Isothermal forging is a specialized process that involves the shaping of metal under high temperature and pressure. It involves maintaining a constant temperature in both the forging die and the workpiece during the entire forming process, which minimizes material deformation resistance and allows for the production of highly intricate parts with uniform properties.
The isothermal forging market consists of sales by entities (organizations, sole traders and partnerships) of isothermal forging products and related services that are commonly employed in industries requiring high-performance components with exceptional strength, fatigue resistance and reliability.
The global isothermal forging market was valued at $7,364.60 million in 2019 which grew till 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 4.00%.
Expansion of Aerospace and Defense Sectors
Expansion of aerospace and defense sectors drove the growth of the isothermal forging market in the historic period. Aerospace and defense sectors demand materials that can withstand extreme conditions, such as high pressure, temperature and mechanical stress. Isothermal forging is ideal for producing components with high strength-to-weight ratios and excellent fatigue resistance, making it essential for producing advanced parts like turbine blades, engine components and other structural parts in aircraft, satellites and defense equipment. For example, according to the Aerospace Industries Association, a US-based aerospace and defense company, the United States aerospace and defense industry generated over $955 billion in sales in 2023, marking a 7.1% increase from the previous year. in June 2022, the United States government and Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, a US-based aircraft manufacturer, signed a five-year contract for a baseline of 120 H-60M Black Hawk helicopters, with options to reach a total of 255 aircraft to be delivered to the US Army and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. Therefore, expansion of aerospace and defense sectors drove the growth of the isothermal forging market.
Advancing Closed-Die Forging Techniques For Enhanced Aerospace Manufacturing Capabilities
Major companies operating in the isothermal forging market are developing innovative and advanced technologies, such as vacuum technology to enhance the quality and precision of forged components by minimizing contamination and improving material properties. In isothermal forging, vacuum technology is used to eliminate impurities, reduce oxidation and control the atmosphere during the forging process, ensuring the production of high-strength, durable components with enhanced surface finishes and improved material properties. For example, in November 2023, SMS Group, a Germany-based industrial machinery manufacturing company, launched hot isothermal forging line to enhance the production of turbine parts specifically for the aerospace industry. The line integrates advanced vacuum technology and maintains a constant high-temperature environment to produce components with near-net-shape precision. This system includes hydraulic closed-die forging presses and specialized heating chambers, allowing for efficient processing of various materials while ensuring high-quality output under controlled conditions.
The global isothermal forging market is fairly fragmented, with a large number of small players operating in the market. The top ten competitors in the market made up to 21.1% of the total market in 2023.
