Abstract
It cannot escape the attention of the cost and quality-conscious manufacturing engineer that the number of forming processes in the manufacture of serial parts is increasing. Besides the classic advantages—e.g. the extraordinary properties of forged parts—it is the thinking in manufacturing sequences and substitution possibilities above all that reveals the chances within forming engineering of accelerating or improving the efficiency of the finishing process and of using forming for property improvement.
