Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help with a very basic question. I've often looked up recommended forging temperatures for various metals in supplier datasheets or books and they'll usually say something along the lines of " typically forged in the range of 1010-1095°C" or "Forging Temperature: 980-1120°C" whereas others will say something along the lines of "Forge from 1120°C with no deformation below 925°C". The latter is clear, but where the former is concerned should this be taken to mean that no forging should take place once it's dropped below the lower temperature or does it represent the range of soaking temperatures prior to forging?
Thanks,
