Precision Forging Manufacturing Process
Precision forging
Forging is the process of melting metals by applying compressive forces like a hammer, power hammer, press or die. Forging is done for products like kitchenware, hand tools, hardware, edged weapons, jewellery and more. Forged parts are also used in machines whenever the part requires high strength.
Forging can produce a part that is stronger than the equivalent cast or machined part. In the forging process as the metal is shaped, its internal grain texture deforms to flow the desired shape. Due to this, the texture is the same throughout the part and it also gets high strength characteristics. It can be achieved at a lower cost. Because of its long-lasting benefits, it outweighs the other processes like casting and fabrication.
The metal is given shape by the tools that touch the workpiece and by control of the applied energy. There are different forging techniques...
