- Requires less mechanical force
- Ideal for producing large pieces or highly detailed ornamental items
Disadvantages:
- Higher energy consumption (for heating)
- Requires specialized furnaces or forges
- Can generate oxides or scale on the metal surface
Examples of Use:
- Manufacturing knives, swords, axes
- Creating spear tips, spirals, and forged flowers
