Differences and characteristics between casting and forging

Casting: it is the process of melting metal into liquid that meets certain requirements and pouring it into the mold. After cooling, solidification and cleaning, castings (parts or blanks) with predetermined shapes, sizes and properties are obtained. Basic technology of modern machinery manufacturing industry.

Forging: it is a processing method that uses forging machinery to exert pressure on metal blank to produce plastic deformation, so as to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, shapes and sizes.
