2. FORGING PROCESS
Forging is a manufacturing process
involving the shaping of metal using localized
compressive forces. A metal is shaped by
compressive forces.
Types of Forging:
1. Open-Die Forging
2. Impression-Die & Closed-Die Forging

3. Forging Industry in India
The Indian Forging Industry has emerged as a major
contributor to the manufacturing sector of the Indian Economy.
Briefly, it is categorized into four sectors- large, medium, small
and tiny.
The industry was previously more labour intensive but now
with increasing globalization it is becoming more capital
intensive.
Total investment in the large and medium sectors is US$600
