See how an aluminum component is made at Anchor Harvey’s Freeport, IL facility. Watch a component move from raw material to finished part.

Anchor Harvey understands that not everyone is intensely familiar with the advantages of forged aluminum products.

Extrusion, including extruded aluminum, is a process that creates a product of a fixed cross-sectional profile along its entire length.

Anchor Harvey is proud to provide a wide variety of custom forged aluminum products, but customers may wonder why they may need forged products instead of billeted material products.

Much of the modern aerospace and aircraft construction industries wouldn’t exist without the highly advanced aluminum industry to provide ideal materials.

Over the past decade, the wild blue yonder has proven quite favorable to aerospace forgings and the aerospace industry in general.

Forging, as a metal forming process, defines itself by forcing a ductile metal component into a specific shape as needed for its purpose.

“Made in America” is a consistent sign of quality that many consumers look for in their everyday lives.

Choosing a metal forging partner can feel daunting. While assemblers and end product manufacturers have detailed knowledge of their own components, they may lack familiarity with the production process.
