Metalworking artisans employ various methods for manipulating metal and giving it new shapes. Welding and forging are metalworking techniques that have been around for generations. Both are metalworking techniques, but few know the fundamental difference between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Welding is the process of fusing metal by melting parts of it. Forging is the art of reshaping heated metal by repeatedly hitting it. Forging is an old art, while welding is one of the more modern metalworking techniques. There isn\u2019t much to compare between the two as they are different methods of working metal. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Forging, casting, soldering and welding are some of the most common metalworking methods you will see these days. Welding vs. forging: what’s the difference?<\/strong> These two methods are vastly different from each other. In this article, I will talk about the different characteristics of welding and forging. I will also touch upon their various applications. So, without wasting any more of your time, let\u2019s get right to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
