The equipments commonly used in die forging are die forging hammer, hot forging press, flat forging press, friction forging press and others. 

Features of die forging:

1. Compared with the free forging, die forgings have precision size, less machining and a more reasonable distribution of fibrous tissue. All these advantages may enhance the service life of forging parts.
2. Die forging with high productivity, simple operation, easy to implement mechanization and automation.
3. However, die forging need much investment in equipments and long production preparation. The quality of die forging parts was restricted by the equipment press. Die forging usually applied to small and medium-sized forgings (usually <150 kg).
