Forging is a process used to form metal into large quantities of identical parts. Forging changes the shape and size, but not the volume of a part. In the forging process, force is applied to the metal so that it stretches beyond the yield point. The force used in forging must be strong enough to change the material, but not so strong that it breaks it. Forging can be done cold, warm or hot depending on the desired qualities of the final product.
