The difference between forging and wrongght
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: what is the difference between \"forging\" and \"wrounght\"?
It’s probably a spelling mistake – it should be “wrought”. Wrought: Shaped by hammering with tools. Used chiefly of metals or metalwork. It refers to something that has been shaped by hammering using tools. It is commonly used for metals or metal products. Forging is the term used to describe the process of shaping metal by applying localized compressive forces. Cold forging is carried out at room temperature or near room temperature, while hot forging takes place at high temperatures, which makes it easier to shape the metal and reduces the risk of it breaking. Warm forging is performed at temperatures that are intermediate between room temperature and those used in hot forging. As can be seen from these explanations, there is a difference between them; moreover, the former is a noun, whereas the latter is an adjective
Forging involves placing hot iron on an anvil and hammering it into shape. Generally, ‘Wrought’ refers to iron that has been further bent into a specific shape from ‘Forged’ iron. But now it’s all mechanized production. So we translate both words as forged. This post was last edited by cjzhou2 on 2009-4-20 02:41]
