Understanding Geometrical Forging Defects

In this first of two articles, authors Van Tyne and Walters examine possible causes and remedies of geometrical forging defects, which are generally related to process design. In the second and final article – in a subsequent issue of FORGE – the authors will examine the subject of material-related defects.
