Forging Machines (hot forming) Suppliers in Huntington Beach, California

Forging machines (hot forming) use compressive force and a high workpiece temperature to shape metal by plastic deformation.  A type of hot forming, hot forging involves the plastic deformation of a metal at a temperature and strain rate where recrystallization and deformation occur simultaneously. This prevents strain hardening, which can reduce ductility and contribute to brittle failure and structural fatigue. (more)
