What is hot and cold forming?
The cold forming process is the forming process carried out at room temperature. The advantage of this forming is that we get the good surface finish for the product. In the hot forming process, heat is applied to soften the piece of metal.

In the hot forming process, heat is applied to soften the piece of metal. This metal or raw material is available in the form of sheet, bar, tube or wire. Then some form of pressure is used to alter the shape of the metal. The hot forming process can form a variety of complex parts and hold relatively tight tolerances. The advantage of this process is that we get improved ductility for the material.
Forming processes include rolling, forging, drawing, extruding, spinning etc.
