The open die versus closed die decision usually comes down to two numbers: how many parts you need and how much geometry you want the forging to arrive with. Get those two numbers clear and the process choice mostly makes itself. Where buyers go wrong is defaulting to whichever process their supplier prefers, which is often closed die because the tooling revenue is attractive, even when the volume doesn’t justify the die cost. Open die makes sense for low quantities, very large parts, and situations where you’d rather pay for machining than for tooling. The forging arrives roughly shaped, with generous stock for the machine shop to remove. Closed die makes sense when the volume is high enough to amortise the die, when you want the part closer to net shape to save machining time, and when you need every piece dimensionally identical. A Forging Company in Ahmedabad that runs both can tell you honestly which one fits, rather than steering you toward the process that suits their shop.
