{wiki=Forging_temperature}
Forging temperature refers to the specific temperature range at which a material, typically metal, is heated to make it suitable for the forging process. This temperature is critical because it affects the material's ductility, strength, and the ease with which it can be shaped or deformed. In general, forging is performed at temperatures that are significantly below the melting point of the material.
