Metal forging is a type of metal forming method that mainly involves the use of compression force on a piece of metal to deform it, and further create the desired shape, size, and volume. The most common forged metal products are titanium, aluminum, copper, magnesium, and others. The process of forging is beneficial as it aids in strengthening of the metals by eliminating internal gas pockets that have the tendency to weaken the metals. This process also increases the strength and durability of the metals.
