The difference between forging and casting?

The difference between forging and casting:

Words have different meanings:

Forging: Using methods such as hammering to make a metal material in a plastic state into a workpiece with a certain shape and size, and to change its physical properties.

Casting: A processing method in which metal is melted into a liquid and poured into a mold, cooled, solidified, and cleaned to obtain a casting of the desired shape. It can be made into various objects with complex shapes.

2. The production process is different:

Forging: It is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to metal blanks to cause plastic deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, certain shapes and sizes. It is one of the two major components of forging (forging and stamping).

Casting: It is a method of casting liquid metal into a casting cavity suitable for the shape of the part, and after it is cooled and solidified, the part or blank is obtained.
