The blows are delivered with a hammer (often a power hammer) or a die. Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging (a type of cold working), warm forging, or hot forging (a type of hot working). For the latter two, the metal is heated, usually in a forge. Forged parts can range in weight from les

AI overview

Forging is a manufacturing process that shapes metal by applying localized compressive forces, typically using a hammer or die, often at elevated temperatures to make the metal more workable. This process is important because it allows manufacturers to create metal parts of varying sizes and specifications for various applications.
