Complement the interior of your cottage or country house, decorate the design of the adjacent territory, fences, gates or facade, while emphasizing your individuality and respectability, you can use forged metal products. Read more details with existing options it is best to use the catalog of the company that accepts orders for their manufacture. Before choosing, you should familiarize yourself in more detail with the process technology that has been worked out for centuries in order to evaluate all the available artistic possibilities.
Step by step forging process
Despite the available equipment for forging metal (pneumatic or hydraulic hammers, electric furnaces), this technology, especially its so-called artistic form, is performed exclusively by hand, which includes the following steps (methods):
- Settlement - mechanical deformation of a red-hot workpiece of a future part due to impact (hammer or hammer). Distinguish between local - a certain (specific) area is subjected to deformation and a complete one - the required cross-sectional parameters are given to the entire surface of the product.
- Stretching - impact on the workpiece in such a way that an increase in its length occurred due to a decrease in the cross-section.
- Chopping (stubbing) - is carried out by the percussion method using a cutting (chopping) tool. It is used when dividing a workpiece into separate parts or when finishing a finished product.
- Bending, twisting, punching holes - operations are performed with a part red-hot to a plastic state with a special hand tool.
The final stage is the connection of individual forged parts into the final product and the printing of the pattern (ornament). These works are carried out by the method of thermal action.
As follows from the listed stages of the art forging procedure, it is impossible to put it on stream. The user is guaranteed to receive unique products, which, due to heat treatment during manufacturing, receive a centuries-old margin of strength and reliability.
