FORGING PROCESS
Open-die forging, also referred to as free forging or smith forging, is a metalworking process in which a hammer is used to deform a workpiece, typically positioned on a stationary anvil.
Alternatively, compression can be applied to press the metal between basic dies, which are usually flat, semi-round, or V-shaped. This process allows for precise control over the shape and mechanical properties of the metal.
