Correct option is C
In
forging operations,
compressive force is applied to deform the workpiece into the desired shape. This force is applied through a
die using hammers, presses, or other forging equipment. The compressive force causes the material to plastically deform, flowing into the cavities of the die to form the required shape.
Forging relies on compressive stresses to enhance the mechanical properties of the material, such as
strength and
toughness.
Tensile force involves pulling a material apart to stretch it, as seen in tensile testing or wire drawing. Forging operations do not involve tensile forces, as the process focuses on compressive stresses.
