Hello! My name is Sydygaliev Bolot. I am 29 years old. I am from Kyrgyzstan. I'll tell you about the types of art forging.

It is not uncommon for unscrupulous masters to issue welded metal structures for forged products that are much more expensive. Therefore, I want to warn customers against unwanted fraud. I'll try to explain how to distinguish simple welding from real forging. Below listed differences are found literally in each forged version. If the design does not have a single such element, then before you the usual metal welding.
WHAT YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO
Clamps - thin iron rods, which serve as a combination of forged parts. The presence of such compounds makes the thing more refined and elegant, and the life of the structure is more durable and stronger. It is important to compare the thickness of the clamps with forging. They should be the same in thickness. The use of thinner rods shortens the operational period of the structure. Clamps are made on special forging equipment and sometimes, to reduce the cost of the process they are replaced by welding.

Tips. To obtain delicate elements in the pattern, smith masters resort to a hydraulic hammer. Because of its heavy weight, elements of a hard-pointed shape come out. Take a closer look at the end of the tip, it should be drawn. The smith burns metal to white color and at this stage forges the tip with a hammer. This gives the forged compositions a light and elegant look.

Curls. It is difficult to make twisted parts. They are performed by art forging. Heated to a high temperature bars with the use of collars in the hands of a skilled craftsman turn into curls of unusual shape. With the help of welding it is impossible to achieve this twisting of rods.

Bent elements. To curl the iron, apply the templates. To obtain a specific pattern for a particular metal structure, each workpiece must be bent individually. Usually this is achieved manually

Crowns. If you find a crown in the finished iron object, you can be sure that you have been offered a forged masterpiece. For the execution of crowns, blacksmiths use the intended forging hammer.

Decor. Often artistic forging is decorated with complex elements. These include: original ornaments, plant motifs with the addition of flowers, cones, curved branches of the vine and other original images. Such decoration requires the professional skill and skill of the blacksmith. To carry out such decor by welding certainly will not be possible.

When choosing forged items for the interior of your house or garden area, pay attention to all the above-mentioned smallest details. They will help to avoid forgery, and you will receive a quality item made according to the required technology.
