1. What is Hot Forging? A Simple Explanation

Hot forging is like giving metal a superhero transformation. Imagine heating brass to temperatures between 1350°F and 1700°F - so hot that the metal becomes soft and malleable. Then, powerful hydraulic presses shape the heated brass into precise, complex shapes with incredible strength.

"Hot forging is the art of reshaping metal under high pressure and temperature, turning raw material into engineering marvels." - iPower Machinery Experts
