forging: Forging is a process of forming metal parts by the use of heat and pressure Forging develops a grain structure in the metal, which makes it stronger in the direction that it has been stretched Forging is done in special molds called "dies", and when the dies are properly designed to take advantage of the grain structure introduced by the forging process, the resulting parts are stronger in the important directions than those manufactured by CNC machining See also Jeff del Papa's article on Forging, Casting & CNC Machining on this site

forging: The hammering or pressing of metal to join or shape it, usually at high temperatures
forging: A process using hammers and an anvil or steel stakes From a given shape or mass of metal, the material is redistributed by controlled hammer blows to create the desired form
forging: Forming a hot or cold metal into a fixed shape by hammering, upsetting, or pressing
forging: The working of metal to some predetermined shape by hammering, upsetting, pressing, or rolling (or a combination of these processes); the metal can be hot or cold The most common metals forged include carbon, alloy and stainless steels; very hard tool steels; aluminum; titanium; brass and copper; and high-temperature alloys containing cobalt, nickel, or molybdenum There are four principal types of commercial forgings: drop forgings, where the shape has been formed by repeated blows by a hammer onto a bar or bullet placed between a pair of dies; upset forgings, where the cross-sectional area is increased while the thickness is decreased; roll forgings, whereby the shaping is done by two rotating rolls; and press forgings, where hydraulic pressure deforms the metal
forging: Plastically deforming metal, usually hot, into desired shapes with compressive force, with or without dies
forging: A piece of forged work in metal; a general name for a piece of hammered iron or steel
forging: Heating the stock piece of steel in a forge (or other heat source) and hammering into shape on an anvil It is more conservative of steel, but can also be more time consuming Regardless of how close to shape a piece is forged, a small bit of grinding is still necessary to finish the piece Neither technique (forging or stock-removal) is better than the other; they are just different methods to achieve the same results

forging: The process of producing a golf club in which the head is made from a series of forging dies stamping the head to final shape Forged heads are made of softer metals than are cast heads and require laborious hand finishing and chrome plating in order to produce a finished product
forging: In metallurgy, the process of shaping metal and increasing its strength by hammering or pressing. In most forging an upper die is forced against a heated workpiece positioned on a stationary lower die. To increase the force of the blow, power is sometimes applied to augment gravity. The number of blows struck is carefully gauged by the operator to give maximum effect with minimum wear on the die. Forging presses employ hydraulic or mechanical pressure instead of blows; most can exert only a few hundred tons of pressure, but giant presses, used for forging parts of jet aircraft, are capable of up to 50,000 tons of pressure. See also drop forging
forging: The act of shaping metal by hammering or pressing
forging: A semi-finished metal product that has been hot formed into an engineered shape by any one of a variety of mechanical compressive forces Hammer forgings, open die, closed die and press forgings are some of these types

[ 'fOrj, 'forj ] (noun.) 13th century. From Old French forge, early Old French faverge, from Latin fabrica (“workshop”), from faber (“workman in hard materials, smith”) (genitive fabri). The verb is from Anglo-Norman forger (“to falsify”), from Old French forgier, from Latin fabricari (“to frame, construct, build”).
