(b) False

I got this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.

I need to ask this question from Forging in division Types of Die & Metal Forming Processes of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The best explanation: In an open die forging process, the metal billet is heated up to a very high temperature and then compressed between two flat die halves. This method is like a compression test, which is also known as upsetting or upset forging. In the process, billet is basically deformed by a decrease in its height and increase in its diameter.
