What is the forging process?
Forging is the working of metal into a useful shape by using localized compressive forces. These forces are applied through various tools such as hammers or presses. This process is integral to producing high-strength components for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and construction.
Most forging operations are carried out hot, although certain metals may be cold forged. Two major classes of equipment are used for forging operations: the forging hammer, or drop hammer, which delivers rapid impact blows to the surface of the metal, and the forging press, which subjects the metal to a slow speed compressive force.
