Your questions – our answers

What are the specific benefits of using AFP steel?

AFP steels (Advanced High-Strength Steels) are among the high-strength steel classes and are characterised by their excellent mechanical properties. They are mainly used in the automotive industry for increasing the safety, and also the efficiency, of vehicles. These types of steel boast an optimum combination of strength, ductility and malleability.

They are designed to absorb a great deal of energy in the event of an accident, which provides additional safety. AFP steels also make lighter vehicle structures possible, which reduces the overall weight of the vehicle and therefore improves fuel consumption efficiency.

AFP steels have different strength classes, and their development is based on advanced alloying procedures and heat treatment techniques in order to achieve optimum mechanical properties. These types of steel are a central constituent in modern vehicle manufacturing and make an important contribution to increasing vehicle performance, safety and environmental compatibility.

For which weight classes can Bharat Forge CDP develop axle journals?

Our axle journals are manufactured with an unfinished part weight of between 12 kg and 18 kg. This weight range allows us to provide customised solutions for different vehicle models and requirements, whereby we always ensure optimum quality and performance.

Which testing methods are used at Bharat Forge CDP for guaranteeing the quality of the products?

Bharat Forge CDP uses the highest quality standards in the manufacture of its axle journals. We achieve this by means of detailed and strict quality checks that are aimed at safeguarding product integrity and reliability. Our axle journals undergo a comprehensive range of tests, including magnetic particle crack testing and alternating current tests, in order to identify surface defects and concealed defects. This testing is decisive in identifying structural defects that could affect the functionality or safety of the products.

The use of the alternating current test is an important step for discovering internal irregularities that can occur during the production process. These meticulous testing processes ensure that every axle journal fulfils the high quality standards we have set before it leaves the factory.

These strict testing processes form the heart of our quality promise to our customers. They ensure that every axle journal from Bharat Forge CDP fulfils all requirements and provides excellent reliability and performance capability.
