Metal forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping metal into a desired form using compressive forces.

Metal forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping metal into a desired form using compressive forces. The process typically begins with heating the metal, known as forging stock, to a high temperature to make it more malleable. Then, the metal is placed between two dies, which are shaped to the desired final product. The forging press, or forging hammer, applies pressure to the metal, causing it to deform and take on the shape of the dies. This process can be done with various types of forging equipment, including open-die forging, closed-die forging, and seamless rolled ring forging. One of the key benefits of metal forging is that it results in parts with high strength and durability. The process also allows for the creation of complex shapes and intricate designs that may be difficult to produce with other manufacturing methods. In addition, metal forging is a cost-effective and efficient way to produce metal parts. The process reduces material waste and can be completed in a shorter amount of time compared to other manufacturing processes.
