Forged Die Blocks For Making Spring Steel

Open Die Forging vs. Closed Die Forging - Steel Available
The technique of both open die forging and closed die forging is different. In general, for closed die forging, the molding dies are first made. The metal bars are then placed on the dies and forged to any shapes that are desired. The closed die forging technique utilizes very less or no machining throughout the process. Also, net shape end
Spring Swages - Pieh Tool Company
Spring swages can be used by hand at the anvil or power hammer but will produce better results if you build a saddle to go over a power hammer die with a hardy hole in it and weld a hardy stob onto the spring swage; this hardy stob will also allow the spring swage to be used in the hardy hole of your anvil.
Metal Forging
Die blocks are cast from the alloy, forged themselves, then machined, and finished. Forging Die Design . Forging die design will always depend on the factors and requirements of the manufacturing process. However, there are some general principles to consider for good forging die design.
5.2.2.3 Net and Shape Forging | Forging Industry Association
Net and near net shape forging represents some relatively recent developments of the conventional impression die forging process. Net and near net shape forgings are distinguished by geometric features that are thinner and more detailed, varying parting line locations, virtual elimination of draft, closer dimensional tolerances and with many as-forged surfaces.

Types of Forging Processes | Forging Industry Association
Cold Forging. Most forging is done as hot work, at temperatures up to 2300 degrees F, however, a variation of impression die forging is cold forging. Cold forging encompasses many processes -- bending, cold drawing, cold heading, coining, extrusions and more, to yield a diverse range of part shapes.
CNC Macined Components VS. Forged Components???- Mtbr
Forged and cast parts can be machined to their final shape. Parts machined from a bilet, solid block or cyndrical, are constrained to the molecular stucture of the bilet. Short version forging and casting allows manipulation of the molecular structure of the material. Parts machined from a bilet do not allow that manipulation.
Best steel for making an Anvil? - Practical Machinist
The best way I know to check an anvil, to determine if the hard steel plate has been finished off the top or to make sure it's not a Russian or Chinese ASO (Anvil Shaped Object) is to drop a ball bearing on it. Find a 1 inch or bigger hard steel bearing and drop it from 6 or so feet onto your proposed anvil. If it leaves a mark, it's too soft.
Knifemaking 101 - Read This Before You Make a Knife
There was a time when all blades were made by forging. Steel was expensive and even rare in those days. Stock removal wouldn’t have been feasible because it would have wasted enough material to make another knife or two. Two blades can often be forged from the same-sized piece of steel that would make only one full-tang stock-removal blade.
