Some of the points that should be followed while forging design are:

☛ > A radial flow of grains or fibers must be achieved in the forged components.

☛ > The forged items such as drop and press forgings should have a parting line that should divide the forging into two equal halves.

☛ > The ribs in a forging should not be high or thin.

☛ > In order to avoid increased die wear the pockets and recesses in forgings should be minimum.

☛ > In forgings the parting line of it should lie as far as possible in a single plane.

☛ > For ease of forging and easy removal of forgings the surfaces of the metal should contain sufficient drafts.
