Stainless Steel Forgings Market Size, Share & Trend | Industry Analysis Report Stainless Steel Forgings Market: Overview
Stainless steel is an alloy of iron that contains a minimum of 10.5% chromium. Various grades of stainless steel are commonly used to manufacturing components using the forging manufacturing process, as it enhances the existing qualities of stainless steel. The forging process also improves the strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel, enabling it to outlast and withstand extreme environments. Forging can also impart a higher strength to weight ratio. Forging improves the mechanical properties of stainless steel.
Cold/hot forged products segment to lead the market
Cold/hot forged products dominated the global stainless steel forgings market. The castings segment is anticipated to expand at rapid pace during the forecast period. Sintered products possess properties such as electrical conductivity, translucency, and thermal conductivity.
Key drivers of stainless steel forgings market
High recyclability offered by stainless steel is likely to drive the stainless steel forgings market. Increasing demand of the stainless steel forgings in industrial and aviation sectors is offering significant opportunity to stainless steel forging manufacturers. Demand for stainless steel forgings is increasing in the industrial segment due to its strength and resistance to wear and tear. The automotive segment is expected to expand rapidly during the forecast period due to the rising demand for lightweight forged products with enhanced wear and tear resistance.
