Red metal forging is a manufacturing process that creates a variety of metals from a bar of raw material. The essence of this process is to forge (or manipulate) a piece of ore so that it can be subsequently shaped into different items, including bars, rods, wire and other forms
To begin red metal forging, the ore is first heated to a certain temperature and then shaped into certain shapes using tools such as hammers and chisels. Once the desired shape has been achieved, the ore is cooled down and then reheated to continue working on it until it reaches its final form
The process usually takes several steps before reaching its end goal: shaping, heating and cooling down.
