Forging is a manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. As the metal is shaped during the forging process, its internal grain structure deforms to follow the general shape of the part. As a result, the grain structure is continuous throughout the part.

Typical Materials used In Forging
• Aluminum
• Copper
• Steel

Advantages of Forging
Improved strength
Lower total cost (lead-time, scrap, downtime)
