    Forging/Heading

    Forging and heading are manufacturing operations that consist in giving a piece of metal a particular shape. A slug of material is first sheared, and then subjected to a series of heading operations that give it its next or final shape. Heading may take the form of cold heading or hot heading. For hot heading, the metal is first heated before its sheared and shaped.
