This document reviews impression die forging. It discusses how computer aided engineering techniques are used to optimize die design to improve accuracy and reduce costs. The document summarizes existing die design techniques and approaches to develop an optimal system. Impression die forging can produce parts with high complexity from various metals at moderate costs. The document also discusses common materials used in closed die forging like steel, aluminum, and copper, as well as advantages like net shapes, high strength, and close tolerances and disadvantages like high tooling costs and size limitations.
