The difference between steel forgings and castings

A forging is an object in which a metal is subjected to pressure to shape the required shape or suitable compression force through plastic deformation. This force is typically achieved through the use of a hammer or pressure. The forging process creates a fine grain structure and improves the physical properties of the metal. In the actual use of parts, a correct design can make the particles flow in the direction of the main pressure.

Castings are metal moldings obtained by various casting methods, that is, the smelted liquid metal is poured into a pre-prepared mold by pouring, injection, suction or other casting methods, and after cooling, it is shaken out, cleaned, and reprocessed, etc., to obtain an object with a certain shape, size and performance.
