Typesofforging:
Forgingisdividedintothreemainmethods:
hammer,press,androlledtypes.
(1) HammerForging(FlatDie):
Preferredmethodforindividualforgings.Theshapingofametal,orothermaterial,byaninstantaneousapplicationofpressuretoarelativelysmallarea.Ahammerorram,deliveringintermittentblowstothesectiontobeforged,appliesthispressure.Thehammerisdroppedfromitsmaximumheight,usuallyraisedbysteamorairpressure.Hammerforgingcanproduceawidevarietyofshapesandsizesand,ifsufficientlyreduced,cancreateahighdegreeofgrainrefinementatthesametime.Thedisadvantagetothisprocessisthatfinishmachiningisoftenrequired,asclosedimensionaltolerancescannotbeobtained.
(2) PressForging:

PressForgingismoreeconomicalthanhammerforging(exceptwhendealingwithlowproductionnumbers),andclosertolerancescanbeobtained.Agreaterproportionoftheworkdoneistransmittedtotheworkpiece,differingfromthatofthehammerforgingoperation,wheremuchoftheworkisabsorbedbythemachineandfoundation.Thismethodcanalsobeusedtoproducelargerforgings,asthereisnolimitationinthesizeofthemachine.
(3) DieForging:
Openandcloseddieoperationscanbeusedinforging.Inopen-dieforgingthediesareeitherflatorrounded.Largeforgingscanbeformedbysuccessiveapplicationsofforceondifferentpartsofthematerial.Hydraulicpressesandforgingmachinesarebothemployedincloseddieforging.Inclosed-dieforgingthemetalistrappedinrecessedimpressions,whicharemachinedintothetopandbottomdies.Asthediespresstogether,thematerialisforcedtofilltheimpressions.Flash,orexcessmetal,issqueezedoutbetweenthedies.Closed-dieforgingcanproducepartswithmorecomplexshapesthanopen-dieforging.
