Die forging is a forging technology that plastically deforms the metal blank in the die and fills the forging die cavity (die cavity) under the pressure provided by the forging equipment, so as to obtain the forgings with the required external dimensions and structural properties. The dies required for die forging are called forging dies, including forming dies, blanking dies, trimming and punching dies, and sizing dies.

The most commonly used raw material for die forging is steel of various grades. The weight of steel die forgings is usually 0.5–50 kg, and the weight of heavy die forgings can reach 200–300 kg. Nonferrous metals such as aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and copper alloys are also expanding their applications. Die forging can produce forgings in large quantities with high efficiency and is the most widely used in the modern automobile industry, railway, mining, electric power, aviation, aerospace, and shipbuilding, and other industrial applications are also increasing...
