Method of producing a forged metal part

摘要

A method of producing a metal part. A shaped metal ingot (10) is provided which has a desired cross-sectional shape substantially in the same configuration of the metal part (30) to be produced. This ingot is preferably continuously cast. The shaped metal ingot (10) is then sliced to create a blank (20) having the desired cross-sectional shape. This blank is then forged into a metal part.
