Forging Industry

Forging Industry

It is a process of method of giving red heated metal the required shape with the application of impact pressure. Forging may be done by:

  • Impact pressure or a striking blow
  • Shaping by presses.

The forged parts are called forgings

Smithying: It is done where small parts are shaped by heating them in an open fire or hearth. Shaping is carried out under hand control forging is referred to the production of heavy parts or these parts are heated in a closed furnace. The work is performed by heavy hammers, forgings, presses and machines. 

Type of forgings :

  • Hand or smith forging: In this type the shaping of metal is carried out with either hand, for repair and maintenance work and also in production of small articles and tools.
  • Drop forging: These types of forgings are made by squeezing the metal at forging heat by impact pressure. The flow of metal is controlled by dies where the metal takes its shape.
  • Machine forging: This process is done under forged hammers or presses. As a general rule heavy forgings are produced by presses and light forging by hammers. Press forgings are smooth in surface and provide a closer tolerance.
  • Upset forging: The up setter is a (process ) press type machine which spreads and gathers the metal bolt header is an upsetting machine. 

Applications of forging :

  • Riveting of shells for boiler and tanks. 
  • Machinery parts and steel furniture.
  • Bolts, headed pins, nuts, nails, keys, eyeballs, and nooks etc.
  • Arms, weapons and cutting tools, forged form twist drills.
  • Agricultural implements and tools.
  • Cranes, crank shaft, connecting rods, axles, and levers for vehicles and locomotives.
  • Helical and laminated spring
