Forging Operations Technology

What You Will Learn

• 1 Learn the classification of forging processes and selection criteria for ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
• 2 Understand forging equipment types, capacities, and tooling material requirements for different operations.
• 3 Analyze open-die forging techniques and their applications in large-scale component production.
• 4 Apply closed-die forging design principles including impression geometry, flash land, and parting line selection.
• 5 Compare hot, warm, and cold forging methods with respect to temperature ranges, metallurgical effects, and product tolerances.
• 6 Identify forging defects through inspection methods and implement quality control plans based on industry standards.
• 7 Explore heat treatment cycles and their effect on mechanical properties of forged components.
• 8 Develop process design workflows using simulation tools and empirical rules for preform design.
• 9 Implement safety management systems and environmental compliance measures specific to forging operations.
• 10 Evaluate advanced forging technologies including isothermal forging, powder forging, and additive-hybrid processes.
