## 1. Project Overview
This video shows hot aluminium being press-forged into a paddle-shaped frame in a steel die. It explains how one stroke of a heavy press forms a strong part with a dense internal structure.
## 2. Materials and Equipment
- Aluminium alloy billet
- Heating furnace
- Upper and lower forging dies
- Heavy forging press
- Tongs
## 3. Work Procedure
The aluminium billet is heated to forging temperature and placed in the lower die. The press drives the upper die down, squeezing the metal so it flows into every part of the die cavity. The press opens and the forged frame is lifted out with tongs, ready for the excess flash around its edge to be trimmed.
## 4. Importance of the Task
Forged parts are stronger than cast ones because the metal grain follows the shape of the part and internal voids are closed. Press forging also produces many identical parts quickly with very little machining.
## 5. Guideline Compliance & Educational Purpose
This video is shared strictly for educational and informational purposes to demonstrate a metal forging process. The work is performed by experienced workers in a controlled working environment. Forging presses exert enormous force and handle hot metal. Only trained operators should work at the press, using tongs, guards and heat-resistant protective equipment. Viewers should always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), never reach into operating machinery, and should not attempt any task beyond their training and experience.
