Forging

Virtually all metals that can be moulded / drawn out may be forged by first heating and then hammering it in to the desired shape.

A billet, wrought bar, cast or sintered ingot etc.. may be forged. Forging improves the toughness and strength by improving orientation of the metal grain structure. The repeated heating and hammering causes the metal to become more dense and the grain "flow lines" to follow the contour of the end product.
