How are forgings produced?
There are several processes used to create forgings. All of them involve shaping metal by plastic deformation. The most common type of forging process is impression die/ precision forging. Other process included open die/hand forging (resembles pre-industrial metalsmith work), ring rolling, extrusion and piercing .The temperature and processes for various methods of forging vary greatly. Forgings can be created using metal that is either cold, warm or hot, depending on the requirements of the finished product.
