What Is a Hand Forging?
A hand forging is a carefully engineered, custom-made product in which a specified quality is guaranteed. This can be achieved in only one way — by building quality, from the beginning, into the forging itself.
A hand forging is also referred to as an open die forging. In other words, forging is the process of manipulating stock between open dies while shaping it at various intervals, usually conducted by compression using a hydraulic press.
A forging worked between flat or simply shaped dies by repeated strokes or blows and manipulation of the piece.
