Forging Technology

Forging Technology provides a comprehensive understanding of metal forging processes used to manufacture strong and reliable engineering components. The course introduces the fundamentals of forging, including metal deformation, material flow, temperature, pressure, and strain behavior. Participants learn about major forging processes such as open-die, closed-die, drop forging, press forging, and upset forging. It covers the selection and characteristics of forging materials including carbon steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, aluminum, and special alloys. The course explains forging equipment, dies, tools, heating systems, and lubrication practices. Participants understand the influence of forging parameters on component quality, dimensional accuracy, and mechanical properties. Common forging defects and their causes, prevention, and corrective methods are also discussed. The course introduces die design considerations, process planning, trimming, and finishing operations. Practical aspects of process optimization, productivity improvement, and quality control are covered. Overall, the course develops the technical knowledge required to design, analyze, and improve industrial forging processes.
