What is Metal Forging?
• In Metal Forging
process, the metal is
heated and is shaped by
plastic deformation
using localized
compressive forces.

Metal Forging
Evolution of metal forging technique
• Traditionally, forging was
performed by a smith using
hammer
• In modern times, industrial
forging is done either with
presses or with hammers
powered by compressed air,
electricity, hydraulics or steam.

Hot vs. Cold Metal Forging
• If the temperature is
above the material's re-
crystallization
temperature it is
deemed hot forging,
otherwise cold forging.

Advantage of Hot Forging
• The main advantage of
hot forging is that as
the metal is deformed
work hardening effects
are negated by the re-
crystallization process.

Advantages of Cold Forging
• Savings in material and final machining
• High productivity
• Excellent dimensional accuracy and
surface quality of cold extruded parts
• Improvement of mechanical properties
of extruded parts
• Favorable crystal grain flow increases
toughness.
