Forging

2025-12-08

Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to metal billets, causing them to undergo plastic deformation and thereby obtaining forgings with certain mechanical properties, specific shapes and dimensions. Forging (along with stamping) is one of the two main components of forging. Through forging, defects such as porosity in the cast state that occur during the smelting process of metals can be eliminated, the microstructure can be optimized, and at the same time, due to the preservation of the complete metal flow lines, the mechanical properties of forgings are generally superior to those of castings made of the same material. In related machinery, important parts with high loads and severe working conditions, except for those with relatively simple shapes that can be made from rolled sheets, profiles or welded parts, are mostly made of forgings.
