Forging: Forging is the process in which metal, cold or heated, is shaped into a component geometry through the use of multiple blows with a drop hammer or through the application of pressure with a hydraulic press. For most forging processes, a set of dies are required. There are four major types of forgings used in industry: - Hand, Blocker, Conventional, and pressed. Conventional and blocker forgings are the most common.
Carbon Steel Forging: One made from a steel whose major alloying element, carbon, produces the resultant properties and hardness.
