The forging is part of the group of forming methods. In industry, it is mainly used for the automated production of metal components that are subject to dynamic loads. The use of at least two shaping tools, or sinks, which move relative to one another is characteristic of the method. Forming by means of sinks is the most widely used forging method in industrial practice. The method is distinguished by the good material utilization, the die forging parts by the advantageous ratio between weight and strength. From the likewise widespread free-form forgings, the method is distinguished by the superior dimension accuracy.
