Forging
Forging is a method of plastically deforming a metal by:
|
|
|
Stamping
|
force is applied to die halves; metal is deformed in the cavity between the two dies
|
|
Hot Working
|
deformation at a temperature above crystallization; requires through heating
|
|
|
Advantages
|
- heat applied directly in the billet or work piece w/precision & consistency
- significantly improved cycle time
- scale formation & decarburization dramatically reduced
- die life extended
- overall heating flexibility
- remote heat stations can be placed into existing production lines for high volume rapid forging
