Types of forging processes

What are the main types of forging processes?

The main three types of forging processes are:

Impression die forging, with this type of forging the metal is placed in a die that resembles a mould, it is attached to an anvil, usually the hammer die will be shaped as well, the hammer will be dropped onto the piece of metal, causing it to flow and fill the die cavities.

Cold Forging, this is when a piece of metal is inserted into a die and pressed into a second closed die. The process is carried out at room temperature or below the metal’s recrystallization temperature, this will form a metal into its desired shape.

Seamless rolled ring forging, this is a process that involves a process called ring rolling, using a machine called a rolling mill, rings of various sizes are generated.

Open die forging, this deforms pieces of metal between multiple dies, the material is not completely closed the metals shape is altered by the hammering of the dies and will keep stamping it until the required shape is achieved.

Where are forgings used?

Forgings are used in many day-to-day items, but you will probably not notice them as they are contained inside items that have been assembled, such as aeroplanes, vehicles, ships, engines, and tractors, to name but a few.

The main reason forging parts are used is for their strength, the forged parts will be stronger than any other metalworking process. Forged parts are reliable and are used where human safety is critical.

What metals can be forged?

Most metals can be forged, but the most common ones that are used include carbon, stainless steel, and alloy. Other popular metals that can be forged are hard tool steels, aluminium, brass, and copper.

Specific metals are best suited for certain jobs required, so speak to a forging expert and they will be able to advise you.

Benefits of Pet Neutering

Overall, it is proven that pet neutering helps improve the behaviour of your furry friend. Especially for dogs, it encourages calmer behaviour and a less instinct to find a mate. Pet Neutering is important for many reasons that benefit both you and your pet!

Firstly, the lifespan in both dogs and cats is proven to be increasingly longer in those who have been neutered. In female cats, having them neutered from a young age eliminates the risk of developing cancers and infections that often occur in the ovaries and uterus. Similarly, having a pet neutering process for your dog eliminates the possibility of you dog developing testicular cancer which is extremely common in older dogs who haven’t had pet neutering. Overall saving your pet from painful health conditions but also saving you additional costs in medical bills for the future.

More Pet Neutering Advantages

In addition to this after having your pet neutered, they no longer come into heat or have their season. In the cases of cats, males stop producing testosterone and therefore destroys the aggression inside them and stops them from spraying their urine around, creating very unpleasant odours around your home.  By having pet neutering is deduces the undesirable behaviours that come alongside the pet hormones.

One of the main benefits is the reduction in homelessness of pets. There are thousands and thousands of stray/ homeless cats and homeless dogs in the UK because people irresponsibility allow their pet to become impregnated. The number of homeless pets in the country doesn’t at all meet the demand for families who want to own a pet. This is a sad fact for many animals and those who aren’t homed often have to be euthanised to give others a chance at finding a home. By having your pets neutered, you are reducing the amount of homeless pets that sweep across the UK.

A common myth and misconception is that its healthy for female animals to have one litter before having pet neutering. This is actually untrue, in fact it can cause more health problems if anything as well as risking the life of your pet if complications were to occur during the pregnancy.
