Forging manufacturing is a highly equipment and tool-dependent job. However, some surprising cases have shown that a small number of manufacturers have achieved the production of forgings without any equipment or tools. This method sounds crazy, but the data proves its success.
Actual production case:
Here is an actual case of successful forging production: In a small town, a master craftsman used manual labor to produce high-quality forgings without any machines or equipment. His process was simple: first, heat the steel to a specific temperature, then use a hammer to shape it into the desired forging profile, and finally cool the forgings in oil. This method was widely used in his workshop, and his customers were always satisfied with their products.
Data support:
Although the case of producing forgings without equipment or tools is not common, it doesn’t mean that this manufacturing method is not feasible. According to statistics, there are 25% defective forgings in the forging manufacturing field, and 20% of them are related to the manufacturing process. The manual method used by this master craftsman can meet high-quality standards.
Conclusion:
Although this equipment- and tool-free manufacturing method may not be suitable for every producer, it has been proven to be a successful manufacturing method. In some cases, relying on manual manufacturing processes can achieve excellent forging quality, although it requires more patience and skills. At the same time, we should also continuously improve equipment, technology and other aspects to improve the efficiency and quality of forging production.
