Forging is a metal shaping process that involves hammering, pressing, or rolling metal under compressive forces. These forces are typically transmitted by hammers or molds. Forging is commonly categorized based on the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging or hot forging. It is a versatile process applicable to various metals.

Forging is a vital method in metal plastic processing, serving the dual purpose of forming and modifying metal properties and internal structure. Achieving such modifications through other processes is often challenging, making forging indispensable. Additionally, forging offers advantages such as material conservation, high production efficiency, and flexibility.

Dating back to ancient times, forging has been a fundamental metal manufacturing technique, with its roots tracing back to the Mesopotamian era. Over time, forging techniques have evolved, becoming more efficient, rapid, and durable. Contemporary forging methods predominantly employ forging presses or powered hammer tools driven by electric, hydraulic, or compressed air systems. Commonly forged materials include carbon steel, alloy steel, micro-alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium.

Forging can be further classified into cold forging and hot forging based on the temperature of the metal blank during processing. Cold forging typically occurs at room temperature, while hot forging is conducted at temperatures exceeding the recrystallization temperature of the metal blank.

Details of the forging process.

According to current production methods, there are four main types:

1. Hammer Die Forging: This method involves producing die forgings using a steam-air die forging hammer. The hammer is a primary tool for die forging production, offering versatility and the ability to perform multi-step billet shaping.

2. Hot Die Forging Press: This advanced die forging process utilizes an upper die forging press. It features high equipment stiffness, rapid fixed stroke speed, and low working speed and energy consumption. These characteristics enhance dimensional accuracy, extend forging die life, and support mechanization and automation, meeting modern industry demands for high quality, precision, mass production, and productivity.

3. Friction Press: An early die forging equipment, the friction press finds diverse applications in die forging production. It can perform die forging, partial upsetting, warm extrusion, hot extrusion, trimming, bending, cold or hot correction, and precision pressing. Typically used in small and medium-sized factories, it offers versatility and flexibility.

4. Flat Forging Machine: This horizontal crank press is capable of forging certain parts that may not be feasible on a die forging hammer or hot die forging press. It is particularly suitable for forging long rods with thick heads or continuously forging perforated or non-through hole annular forgings on a single bar.
