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 ...
The forging process is superior to casting in that the parts formed have denser microstructures, more defined grain patterns, and less porosity, making such parts much stronger than a casting. All metals and alloys are forgeable, but each will have a forgeability rating from high to low or poor.
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 process combines the advantages of casting and forging. The process is named after the fluid property thixotropy, which is the phenomenon that allows this process to work. Thixotropic fluids flow when sheared, but thicken when standing. [3] The potential for this type of process was first recognized in the early 1970s. [3]
Gear manufacturing refers to the making of gears. Gears can be manufactured by a variety of processes, including casting , forging , extrusion , powder metallurgy , and blanking . As a general rule, however, machining is applied to achieve the final dimensions, shape and surface finish in the gear.

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.
