Master the craft of machine forging with practical, technique‑driven detail .

This reference guides you through essential metalworking processes, from shaping and joining with forging machines to welding, heat treatment, and quality testing. Readers gain hands‑on insight into tools, dies, fixtures, and the step‑by‑step operations that produce strong, reliable forgings.

This edition compiles clear explanations, worked examples, and illustrated sequences that show how parts are formed, joined, and finished. It covers common welding methods, fluxing approaches for steel, and real‑world considerations for both wrought iron and steel components. The book also touches on allied shop topics like grinders, heat treatment, tolerances, and the use of auxiliary bulldozers to support forging work.
