This techniques may involve grinding (for example, to produce alloyed steel) or may involve the application of pressure to apply heat to the metal piece until it is malleable. The actual process depends on various factors, including the material being forged, its shape, and the degree of stress that is placed on it. Forged grain is the product of Forging with grains of metals pushed against each other through a forge-like tool and into the cladding that forms the final shape of the metal after it has been done. It is the principal production process in most metals. It uses local or repetitive thrusts delivered by a hammer or die to apply mechanical blows to the metal piece until it becomes malleable. It is frequently classified according to the speed at which it's done: fast, cold, or hot. There are many types of forgers available today...
