Basic Information

Forging denotes a family of processes by which plastic deformation of the workpiece is carried out by compressive forces, at room temperature, or at elevated temperatures, hence the terms cold and hot forging. Simple forging can be made with a heavy hammer and an anvil using techniques that have been available for centuries. However, usually a set of dies and a press are required.
