WHAT IS FORGING
The process of forging involves subjecting metal to high pressure, either by squeezing, pounding, or pressing it. To achieve the desired shape and strength, the metal is usually preheated to a specific temperature before it is worked on. Forged parts are often used in applications where high strength and reliability, as well as resistance to shock and fatigue, are crucial.
