Forging is an important process in the manufacture of standard and special-shaped components. It forms material into different shapes and sizes and offers advantages over conventional casting. Customers often ask how stainless steel forgings are made and what the process requires. How Are Stainless Steel Forgings Made? Forging applies pressure to stainless steel to produce the required shape. More complex parts may require several forming stages. The magnitude and location of the applied force are critical: poor control can produce a rejected part. The process requires precise and consistent hammering or pressing. Control of internal voids and inclusions affects finished-part…
