Precision Solutions

At Lifestyle Metal, we specialize in forging high-quality components from a diverse selection of aluminum and steel grades. We understand that every project has unique material requirements, which is why we offer a wide range of options to ensure your components are tailored to your exact specifications. 

We maintain vertical integration from extrusion, forging and gravity casting to CNC machining, ensuring a stable lead time through a reliable and quality material supply chain. Whether you need a specific alloy for its exceptional strength or a particular grade for its corrosion resistance, our expertise and experience guarantee the solution for your needs.

Development Process

01. CAD Model

The process starts with a detailed 3D CAD model of the desired component.

02. FEA and Grain Flow Simulation

Finite Element Analysis and grain flow simulations are utilized to predict and optimize the forging process, ensuring optimal material distribution and structural integrity.

03. Mold flow simulation

Advanced mold flow analysis to optimize the mold design, ensuring efficient filling and solidification of the molten metal.

04. Mold Fabrication

Precision molds are fabricated based on the optimized design, ready for the forging process.

05. Blank Production Trial

Thorough trials are conducted to validate the entire forging process and ensure consistent, high-quality results.

06. Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) 

To ensure the highest levels of surface quality and detect any potential defects, guaranteeing the structural integrity of your components.

Smart Manufacturing Technologies

We’re at the forefront of Industrial 4.0 initiatives,starting with our forging site. By implementing smart manufacturing technologies, we enable in-process monitoring and quality control. Sensors deployed on our forging presses provide real-time production data such as capacity utilization,voltage, mold temperature, material temperature, work in progress (WIP) status, and estimated time of completing a work order, all linked to the purchase order in our Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. This comprehensive approach gives us better control, efficiency, and traceability throughout the forging process.

Range of Components

With modern forging plants strategically located in Taiwan and Vietnam, we are equipped to handle both large-scale production runs and small, specialized orders. Our adaptable facilities ensure that we can efficiently meet your specific project demands, no matter the size or complexity. Our forging expertise extends beyond standard components, and we excel at producing complex geometries and intricate designs for a wide range of parts, including control arms, knuckles, links, mounts, brackets, and more.
