Advantages
The advantages to using hot forging methods are as small and as invisible to the eye as the grain structure. This grain structure helps to cut weight without cutting the strength of the material proportionately.
Although the piece may have to be machined to achieve final tolerances the piece will still be stronger than if the piece was totally machined from a solid piece of stock. This means that air pockets and voids are less of a factor if any at all in the Hot Forging process.
As the material being used is heated the grain structure is broken down and then as the material is formed the grain structure sets itself in a manner that strengthens the material on an atomic level. The machining helps to get desired tolerances that make the part work in a given application.

Equipment
The equipment being used to forge these raw materials into parts that can be used are machines with a rather basic concept. The use of dies within these machines help to create a given pattern onto a metal billet.
From this metal Billet Machines use force, Heat and intense pressure to transfer patterns onto the stock. Machines use simple tactics to form metal into many different shapes and sizes. These different qualifications depend greatly upon what is needed to be done.
