Semi-solid Metal (SSM) Processing

Process Metallurgy in Production

We start with premium grade aluminum ingot. Material heats are alloyed, filtered, degassed, electromagnetically stirred and continuously cast as cylindrical bar to produce and control the equiaxed grain structure that enables our process. ​Billets are cut, preheated to induce a thixotropic condition, then injected, turbulence-free, into isothermal dies. The injected material solidifies under high consolidation pressure to yield fully dense, near-net shape, heat-treatable parts with peak mechanical properties and NADCA precision tolerances.

Customers Win

Since 1999, we have supplied the aerospace, medical, transportation, recreation and industrial markets of North America, Asia and Europe. We manufacture unique parts from 5 g to 5 lbs, from 150 to 250,000 pieces per year.​ World-class OEMs source with Vforge to lower total manufacturing cost by rethinking traditional forgings, extrusions and machined parts, or by replacing castings prone to porosity or failure.
