1.1 & 1.2Forging Processes
Near Net Shape Cold, Warm & Hot Forging
ERCNSM

Cold Forging - Starts at room temperature(RT to 600-800 F)
Warm Forging - Below or near recrystallization temperature (900 F - 1800 F for steel)
**Tool designs for cold & warm forging are similar,but temperatures and lubricants are different
Hot Forging - Above recrystallization temperature (1800 F - 2200 F for steel, 800 F for Al)

Cold, Warm, & Hot Forging-- Advantages & Disadvantages -
Cold Warm HotAdvantages
• Precision Process (Tight Tolerances)
• Improved Part Strength• Better Surface Finish• Material Conservation
Disadvantages• High Forming Pressures• Several Pre-Forming Steps
Needed• Annealing Steps May Be
Required During Process• Low Formability
Advantages• Combines Advantages of
Cold & Hot Forging• Better Formability• Lower Forming Pressures• Higher Deformation Ratio• No Annealing Required
Disadvantages• High Tooling Costs• Tooling Must Withstand
Forming Pressures as well as High Temperatures
Advantages• Can Forge Complex
Shapes• Good Formability• Low Forming Pressures• Can Forge Parts of Higher
Weight and Volume
Disadvantages• Formation of Scale• Decreased Accuracy
(Larger Tolerances)

Forging Process as a System- Significant Variables -
• Billet Material– Flow Stress (instantaneous yield stress) as a Function of
Strain, Strain Rate,Temperature, & Microstructure– Workability (forgeability) as a Function of Strain, Strain
Rate,Temperature, & Microstructure– Surface Conditions– Thermal/Physical Properties– Initial Conditions (composition, temperature, history)– Effects of Changes in Microstructure & Composition
• Tooling– Geometry of Tools– Surface Conditions– Material/Heat Treatment/Hardness– Temperature
