HISTORY OF FORGING
Cold forging:
Hot forging:
The flat top has two holes; the wider is called the hardy
hole, where the square shank of the hardy fits.

COLD FORGING –
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
• No heating required. • Higher forces are required.
Forging of ring and rod types with all kinds of heads such as
bolts,nuts ,washers and collars ,gears etc that can be produced
conveniently in forging machine .
