Forging

Forging is a manufacturing process that shapes metal using localized compressive forces. There are two main types of forging - cold forging, which is used to mass produce small metal items like screws at room temperature, and hot forging, where the metal is heated to high temperatures before shaping using techniques like drop forging, press forging, roll forging, or ring rolling forging.

Introduction

Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces.

Types of forging

Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: “cold” and“hot”
forging.
- Cold forging: is most commonly used to make small metal items like screws and nails ( the biggest
advantage of this method is mass production )

- Hot forging: the raw material of metal is heated to very high temperatures and then shaped. There are
many types of hot forging:

+ Drop forging: in drop forging, a heavy drop hammer is rasied and dropped on the work piece to
deform it into the required shape. There are two types of drop forging: open-die forging: flywheel rings,
discs, step shafts,… and closed-die forging: drilling bits, small gear,…
+ Press forging: is a method of forging that involves the slow and continuous application or pressure on
the workpices.

+ Roll forging:
+ Ring rolling forging:
