Advantages and Savings of Forgings Capabilities of Forgings How Forgings Are Made	About Forgings
Forging is a process by which a metal is heated and given a desired shape by an application of an appropriate compressive force, typically applied using a power hammer or a press. The forging development creates a sophisticated structure that improves the physical properties of the metal. A proper design can go a long way in orienting the grain flow in the direction of the main stresses during the actual use of the part. Forged steel is considerably stronger and more ductile than castings. S-N fatigue resistance of forged steel is significantly better than the cast materials. Forged steel is superior to castings with respect to low cyclic fatigue. Forgings need to be consistent from one piece to another, without any defects such as porosity, voids, or inclusions. This method creates components that have a high ratio of strength to weight. These components are often used in the design of aircraft frame members. Seamless rolled rings offer superior integrity for demanding engineering applications. Seamless rolled rings also provide a cost effective alternative to fabricating rings from plate.
