Which of the following is not used in Forging operations?

Explanation:

• Forging is a manufacturing process that involves shaping metal by applying compressive forces using a hammer or a press. The metal is heated to a specific temperature and then deformed into the desired shape using various tools and equipment.
• A swage block is a multi-purpose tool used in forging to hold and shape hot metal. It typically has various sized holes and channels to allow for the creation of different shapes and sizes.

Tongs

• Tongs are used by the smith for holding and turning the hot metal workpieces.
• They are made of steels containing 0.3 to 0.4% carbon.
• Tongs are made in two pieces, rivetted suitably to form a hinge as shown in figure.
• Greater length on one side of the hinge forms the arms and is held by hand.
• The smaller end on the other side of the hinge forms the jaws which are made in different shapes and sizes for holding of different jobs.
• Tongs are classified according to the shapes.
