Understanding Hardness, strength, and toughness of materials
by
in MetalworkHardness, strength, and toughness are some of the major and important properties expected in metals and other materials. One or more of these properties will determine their suitability for a specific application. Today in our daily, people tend to use the words strong, tough, and hard in their conversations not knowing how important the word…
Different types of forging defects, Causes and their remedies
by
in MetalworkDefects occur in forging despite it being one of the best manufacturing processes that give better mechanical properties. These defects need to be examined and can be prevented. Forging defects can be controlled by careful consideration of work material volume, good designing of the forging die, and the process. To avoid this forging defect, care…
Understanding Forging Process
by
in MetalworkTypically, an iron-related job is referred to as blacksmithy. By heating or cooling any piece of metal, then striking it with a regular hammer or a machine designed for this purpose, forging involves giving the metal the appropriate shape. Small forging tasks can be completed by striking the material with a hammer, but heavier forging…
Different types of forging operations
Small forging operations can be completed by striking the material with a hammer, but heavier forging tasks are only completed by machines. There are three main techniques to forge. Typically, an iron-related job is referred to as blacksmithy. By heating or cooling any piece of metal, then striking it with a regular hammer or a machine…
Different Types of Forging process
Since the earliest Mesopotamians, forging has been a standard method of metal manufacture. Forging uses compressive, confined forces to shape metal. Forging has undergone major improvements since it first emerged in the fertile crescent, making it a more effective, quick, and durable technique. This is due to the fact that forging is now typically carried…
