Quote:Forging Is a Violent Process
Forged upper blanks are created by hammering the raw metal into a form that roughly resembles the desired receiver shape. The force of the repeated blows required to shape the metal to the form also has an effect on the composition of the metal itself. Metallurgists explain that the "grain" of the metal in forged pieces will be aligned. This creates a more uniform, stronger bond within the metal of the forged blank than exists in the raw materials of a billet upper. It takes less time to form a forged upper blank and complete the machine finishing than it does to machine a billet upper from start to finish. This makes it easier for manufacturers to offer forged uppers to consumers at an attractive price.

Quote:Metallurgists agree that a forged piece of aluminum is stronger than cast or billet. The reason being, when the material is shaped under pressure, its grain follows the same shape as the part. As a result, the product manufactured is stronger due to the continuous grain characteristics allowed by the forging process.
