The Difference Between Hot Forging and Cold Forging
Forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping a solid metal workpiece by compressing and deforming it. Unlike other metal shaping methods, forging offers greater control over the final product because the metal's grain deforms to conform to the new shape. This allows the forger to determine which parts of the metal object will be the strongest, resulting in a stronger piece compared to those created through casting or machining. Various tools are employed for forging, ranging from...
