Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. The compressive forces are delivered with a hammer or die. It is often used to produce parts that require high strength, such as crankshafts, gears, and aircraft components. Forging can be done in different forms, including cold forging, warm forging, and hot forging depending on the temperature at which it is performed. This process can improve the material's grain structure, resulting in higher strength and durability compared to other methods like casting.
