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.
Conventional furnaces (gas, fuel) are used to heat the parts but also induction can be used.
Induction forging utilizes an electromagnetic field to rapidly and precisely heat the metal prior to shaping. This heating method is highly efficient and allows for precise temperature control. It also ensures uniform heating and can be easily automated for mass production.
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.
