In this exciting hands-on course students will be introduced to the tools and techniques necessary to perform basic forging operations at the anvil. The goal is to create a solid foundation on which to begin and advance a forging and metalworking career. This semester long forging introduction will familiarize students with the manipulation of carbon steel through heat and pressure. Techniques covered in this course include but are not limited to tapering, shouldering, bending, forming, cutting, punching, drifting, texturing, striking, finishing & heat treating. Students will be expected to create a variety of forgings that include functional objects and tools. Their final projects will be critiqued and graded based on visible understanding of the process, cleanliness, execution, and function. Credits: Lecture, 2; Lab, 2 Pre-requisite(s): None Co-requisite(s): None

In this Level 2 course students will gain a solid understanding of the operating principals of a self-contained power hammer. Having already gained a firm understanding of forging by hand at the anvil students will now translate those skills to the power hammer. Emphasis will be placed on similarities and differences of performing fundamental forging skills at the anvil and power hammer. Stock size will be increased to demonstrate the functionality of these machines as well as stressing the finesse and accuracy possible when forging at a hammer. Techniques covered in this course include, but are not limited to, the efficient and effective use of forging various shapes on flat dies, creation of dimensional stock, tapering, fullering, butchering, proficient use of kiss blocks, shouldering, isolating mass, using a variety of top and bottom tools, and using spring swages. Some basic joinery techniques will be covered. Credits: Lecture, 2; Lab, 2 Pre-requisite(s): FRG101 Introduction to Forging Co-requisite(s): None
Prerequisite:
FRG101

In this course student's comprehension of joinery will be challenged with the introduction of more intricately joined projects. Having a firm understanding now of the basic forging principals both at the anvil and hammer, students will now demonstrate that understanding while being challenged with projects that involve more complex joinery. This level three course will emphasize accurate layout, forging multiple matches and execution of joinery that consists of accurate forgings and tightly fitting parts. Topics covered consist of,but are not limited to, riveting, mortise & tenon, and forging hardware. Success this semester will rely heavily on attention to detail, ability to organize and execute a project with multiple parts of different varieties, patience, and care. Credits: Lecture, 2; Lab, 2 Pre-requisite(s): FRG150 Intermediate Forging I: Power Hammer Co-requisite(s): None
Prerequisite:
FRG150
