Continue to the Heat Treatment section to learn more! THE PROCESS Open die forging is a manufacturing process where heated metal is shaped and densified by applying great hydraulic pressure to the part between a top and bottom die. Compared to other metalworking processes, like castings, fabrications or weldments, the forging process inherently produces stronger parts by achieving contoured grain flow and fine grain size and by consolidating porosity in the part. < Steelmaking Heat Treat >
