Forging is one manufacturing process involving the shaping of metal using localized compressive forces. Forgings are often classified according to the temperature at which it is performed: "cold", "warm", or "hot" forging. Forged part can range in weight from less than a kilogram to 580 metric tons.

Forged part usually require further processing to achieve a finished part. Today, forging is a major world-wide industry that has significantly contributed to the development of the manufacturing cycles.

Forging is one of the oldest known metalworking processes.Traditionally, forging was performed by a smith using hammer and anvil, though introducing water power to the production and working of iron in the 12th century drove the hammer and anvil into obsolescence. The smithy or forge has evolved over centuries to become a facility with engineered processes, production equipment, tooling, raw materials and products to meet the demands of modern industry.

In modern times, industrial forging is done either with presses or with hammers powered by compressed air, electricity, hydraulics or steam. These hammers may have reciprocating weights in the thousands of pounds. Smaller power hammers, 500 lb (230 kg) or less reciprocating weight, and hydraulic presses are common in art smithies as well. Some steam hammers remain in use, but they became obsolete with the availability of the other, more convenient, power sources.
