When metal is forged, it is deformed using compressive pressures to create a desired shape. Forcing the metal into the desired form, this method employs a sequence of compressive hammers. Many ...

The global isothermal forging market is expected to grow from $7.77 billion in 2022 to $8.56 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the ...

Developments in near-net-shape forging processes promise to enhance engine performance, strengthen components for oil and gas drilling and improve hermetic seals for high-power semiconductors.

In a variety of industries, casting and forging are popular methods of creating components and parts. In spite of this, the processes are very different from one another, and the products produced by ...

To produce complex titanium parts more cost-effectively, some machine shops may adopt advanced forging equipment to complement their CNC capabilities, to create near-net-shaped parts that require only ...

Forging is a traditional metalworking process in which metal is molded into shape by using the pressure induced by an impact hammer. Cold forging is employed for making smaller steel parts and softer ...

The art of forging dates to at least 4000BC and probably earlier. Metals such as bronze and wrought iron were forged by early man to produce hand toots and weapons of war. Forging of wrought iron and ...

It is the norm for our Retrotechtacular series to concentrate on a technology that has passed out of use but is still of interest to Hackaday readers, so it is perhaps unusual now to feature one that ...
