Forgeable Materials and Components
Relevence to Design
Forging should be chosen for components that require very high strength. As the metal is repeatedly heated, shaped, and cooled, the gain actually changes to flow with the shape of the part, resulting in a larger strength than casting or machining. It also has an advantage over machining parts in that no material is cut away and wasted.
