Forging process & type of forging process
WHAT IS FORGING ?
Forging is metal forming process to giving required shape & size to red hot metal by applied impact force
forging is process where metal and alloy first heated above its cretical tempreture and after that compressive force is applied to get final shape by plastic deformation
Types of forging :-
- smith and hand forging
- drop forging
- press forging
- machine forging , upset forging
In this type of forging smith is used to to get shaped & hammer on red hot metal manually Hence its also called as Hand forging.

There are two types of press forging
- open die forging :- In the open die forging both upper die and lower die are flat and horizontal the process may done by hand or power hammers. the heavy falling weight of the hammer is called ram and rigid support called anvil block
- closed die forging:- the workpiece is kept between upper die and lower die . in this process mechanical hammers a, air and steam hammers are used .
- UPSET FORGING :-
