Forging is a manufacturing process for shaping metals using compressive forces. Cold forging and warm (or hot) forging are the two main forging processes. Forging can be exercised as ferrous (aluminium and titanium) forging and non-ferrous forging. It is carried out through either impression die, open die, or rolled rings. Forged metal components are widely used in the automotive, aerospace, construction, oil and gas, agriculture, shipbuilding, steel, bearing, and power industries.
