forgings
Heat-pressed metal pieces
Forgings are metal objects shaped by heating and hammering or pressing rather than casting.
The forging process produces stronger, more durable parts than casting because it aligns the metal's grain structure.
Industrial forgings include crankshafts, connecting rods, and aircraft components: The plant produces steel forgings for the automotive industry.
