Forging is a process that involves heating metal to a high temperature and reducing it into smaller pieces. The end result is a component, which has the properties of both metals that were used to create the final product
The two main types of forging are machining and hand-forging. These processes are used to produce parts that require precision and accuracy in their dimensional accuracy or shape. Hand-forging is generally limited to small items, while machining can be used on larger parts.
