forging process of steel parts

Forging is a manufacturing process that involves the shaping of metals into the desired shapes using localized compressive forces. The process has been a pivotal manufacturing technique for many centuries, which has been used to create everything from weapons and tools to complex mechanical components. The forging process begins with the selection of materials, which can range from aluminum and copper to carbon and stainless steel. The metal is then heated to a specific temperature, which is known as the forging temperature. The temperature required for forging depends on the type and composition of the metal being forged. The heated metal is then placed on an anvil or die, which is a specialized tool designed to shape the metal precisely. The hammer strikes the material under a controlled force causing plastic deformation and shaping the metal. The metal is hammered until it reaches the required shape and consistency.
