Cold Forging Cold Forging is a cold working process where the material is squeezed into a die and the finished parts assume the shape of the die. | Die Forging Hot Die Forging is a process in which a metal piece, section or roller is heated to a suitable temperature and deformed plastically between a die and a header in which the print of the desired part has been hollowed out. |
Drop Forging Drop forging is a process used to shape metal into complex shapes by dropping heated metal into a punch and die which compresses to gradually change the shape of the metal. | Duplex Forging Duplex Forging or Duplex treatment are applied to improve wear resistance of hot forging tools. |
Hand Forging Hand Forging involves manually controlled manipulation in a press without impression dies, usually between flat dies with progressive forging of the workpiece; also referred to as flat-die forging. | Hot Forging Hot Forging dies are exposed to severe mechanical and thermal cyclic loading. This causes hot wear, cracks and plastic deformation in the die. Hot forming machines form metal that has been preheated |
Precision Forging Precision forging refers to close-to-final form or close-tolerance forging. It is not a special technology, but a refinement of existing techniques to a point where the forged part can be used with little or no subsequent machining.
| Upset Forging Upset Forging is an forging process where a workpiece's diameter is increased by compressing its length. |
