Metal is shaped by compressive pressures in the flexible manufacturing process known as forging. An overview of the forging process, its uses, and its importance in the manufacturing sector are given in this chapter. The chapter starts by outlining the fundamentals of forging, including the use of specialized tools and machinery to exert pressure on the metal and mold it. It draws attention to the differences between hot forging, which is done at high temperatures, and cold forging, which is done at room temperature. The chapter then looks at how forging is used in several fields of industry. It underlines the value of forging in the manufacture of crucial parts for automobiles, such as crankshafts, connecting rods, and gears. The use of forging in aircraft applications for producing structural components with great strength and endurance is also highlighted. The use of forging in the oil and gas sector to create pipeline fittings and valves, where dependability and resilience to high-pressure settings are vital, is also mentioned in the chapter.
