A blacksmith hot forging a piece of metal

When metal is heated to its respective forging temperature, it transforms and becomes as soft as clay, allowing a blacksmith to create various products. Forging processes are classified according to the temperatures required to achieve molding. These are;

Cold forging – where metal is soft when cold and does not require heating

Warm forging – metal is heated slightly and forged

Hot forging – metal is heated to high temperatures to enable molding

As a beginner, the most important process worth mastering is hot forging, which is most commonly practiced and lays the foundation for the other processes.

On the other hand, a forge is the heating equipment used to heat the metal.
