Forging, hot stamping and extrusion consist of forming a part that has been previously heated to a temperature at which its resistance to deformation is weak. The approximate hot forming temperatures of the most commonly used industrial materials are:
After heating up the material, the forming operation is done on different types of machines: mechanical impact presses, bending machines, hydraulic extrusion presses, etc.
The starting material used in forging is presented in the form of rounded studs, squares (billet) or bar materials.
Conventional furnaces (gas, fuel) are used to heat the parts but also induction can be used.
