Talk:Forging

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I've added a lot of manufacturing forging related information lately, however I'm lacking information regarding the history of forging, so anyone with anything, feel free to jump into that. Also, I stole this snipet from the Forge discussion because I thought it was a pretty good start for goals for this article:

   This article should have at least three sections:
   * a section defining the verb and giving an overview -Maybe the intro needs to be expanded a little
   * a section devoted to industrial forging -got this covered
   * a brief section on forging as a "hand craft" with a link to "blacksmithing" -need this
   * a brief section on "forge" and "forging" as related to "forgery" with a link to that article
   * Create a recommended link to "forgery" and creating a "forgery" article if it does not exist

I believe that there should be a list of Forging Companies in Alphabetical Order linked to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.105.21.62 (talk) 16:12, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I think the introduction places too much emphasis on the ambient temperature, when the difference between cold/warm/hot working in manufacturing processes is entirely based on the material's properties. For example, lead can be hot forged at room temperature, and tungsten for light bulbs is cold drawn at 900 degrees celsius. --86.140.241.205 (talk) 15:18, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
