Hand Forging
Hand forging is the oldest type of metal working process and has influenced the
formation of other materials through the age.
Smith forging was formerly the process envisioned when we think of the
blacksmith wielding a hammer against a piece of hot metal placed upon a rigid
anvil.
The modern process is the same except that the crafts-person uses a mechanical
hammer and manipulators to move heavy pieces.
Smith forging is done with a flat hammer and a flat anvil.

Drop Forging
Is similar to smith forging is done except that shaped on both the hammer
and anvil are normally utilized.
Drop forging uses successive dies to first roughly form product, provide a
semi-finished form to the product, and then to form and blank or trim the
flashing from the formed object.
The dies used in the drop forging must be made
from extremely strong and tough materials in order
to withstand the impact loads and temperature of
the process.

Drop Forging
In open-die forging, a hammer strikes and deforms the workpiece, which is placed
on a stationary anvil. The dies are usually flat in shape, but some have a specially
shaped surface for specialized operations. For example, a die may have a round,
concave, or convex surface or be a tool to form holes or be a cut-off tool.
In some cases, open-die forging may be employed to rough-shape ingots to prepare
them for subsequent operations. Open-die may also orient the grain to increase
strength in the required direction.

In impression die forging, the work piece is pressed between the dies. As the metal
spreads to fill up the cavities sunk in the dies, the requisite shape is formed between
the closing dies. Some material which is forced out of the dies, is called “flash”.

Closed die forging is very similar to impression forging, but in true closed die
forging, the amount of material initially taken is very carefully controlled, so
that no flash is formed.
Otherwise, the process is similar to impression die forging. It is a technique
which is suitable for mass production
