Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. The blows are delivered with a hammer (often a power hammer ) or a die . Forging is often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: cold forging (a type of cold working ), warm forging, or hot forging (a type of hot ...
Some of example of forming processes are: Forging; Extrusion; Rolling; Sheet metal working; Rotary swaging; Thread rolling; Explosive forming; Electromagnetic forming; Plastic extrusion; Die forming (plastics)#Process; Food extrusion#Process
Forge welding (FOW), also called fire welding, is a solid-state welding process [1] that joins two pieces of metal by heating them to a high temperature and then hammering them together. [2] It may also consist of heating and forcing the metals together with presses or other means, creating enough pressure to cause plastic deformation at the ...
The tools that are used, dies and punches, come in many different shapes and sizes, as well as materials. Examples of these shapes are flat and v-shaped which are used for open-die forging, and single or multiple-impression dies used for closed die forging. The designs for the dies have many aspects to them that must be considered.
Knife making is the process of manufacturing a knife by any one or a combination of processes: stock removal, forging to shape, welded lamination or investment cast. [1] Typical metals used come from the carbon steel, tool, or stainless steel families. Primitive knives have been made from bronze, copper, brass, iron, obsidian, and flint. [1]
Generally, the cold forming operation will do the finishing stage so that the advantages of cold-working can be taken advantage of, while maintaining the high speed of automatic hot forging. Examples of parts made by this process are: wheel hub unit bearings, transmission gears, tapered roller bearing races, stainless steel coupling flanges ...
Swaging (/ ˈ s w eɪ dʒ ɪ ŋ /) is a forging process in which the dimensions of an item are altered using dies into which the item is forced. [1] Swaging is usually a cold working process, but also may be hot worked. [2] The term swage may apply to the process (verb) or to a die or tool (noun) used in that process.
