Forging operation is a metal shaping process where metal is heated and formed using compressive force such as hammering or pressing. It is used to produce strong and durable parts like tools and machine components. The main types include open-die, closed-die, hand forging, and drop forging. The process involves heating the metal, shaping it using tools like hammers and anvils, and then cooling it. Safety measures such as wearing PPE and handling hot metal carefully are very important. Forging improves the strength and quality of metal products but requires skill and energy.
