Drop forging is a metalworking process used to shape metal and enhance its strength through controlled deformation.
This technique involves placing a heated workpiece on a stationary lower die and using an upper die or hammer to apply force.

Drop Forging
Manufacturers refer to the process as drop forging when they drop the upper die or hammer onto the workpiece.
To increase the impact beyond the force of gravity alone, they apply additional power, ensuring the metal is effectively shaped and strengthened.
Drop forging is particularly effective for producing parts with specific shapes and superior mechanical properties, making it a preferred method in various manufacturing industries. The controlled application of force in drop forging allows for precise shaping and enhances the overall quality and durability of forged components.
