There are a few techniques that you can use to forge stainless steel. One popular technique is heating the metal prior to forging, which helps reduce the amount of distortion produced by heat distortion temperature (HTC)
Another technique is known as cold working. This involves heating the metal to a high temperature and then reducing its temperature through cooling. Cold working reduces metal distortion and makes it easier to form into different shapes
The final technique is known as quenching, which involves rapidly cooling steels after they are heated to just above their melting point. This process helps reduce internal stresses in the metal and makes it much easier to form into different shapes.
