===Temperature=== {{Main|Forging temperature}} {{See also|Hot working|Cold working}} All of the following forging processes can be performed at various temperatures; however, they are generally classified by whether the metal temperature is above or below the recrystallization temperature.<ref>''FORGING AND STAMPING NONFERROUS METALS. HANDBOOK (10 May, 1984, By N. I. Korneyev, V. M. Arzhakov, et alοΌ''https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/tr/pdf/ADA141689.pdf</ref> If the temperature is above the material's recrystallization temperature it is deemed ''hot forging''; if the temperature is below the material's recrystallization temperature but above 30% of the recrystallization temperature (on an absolute scale) it is deemed ''warm forging''; if below 30% of the recrystallization temperature (usually room temperature) then it is deemed ''cold forging''. The main advantage of hot forging is that it can be done more quickly and precisely, and as the metal is deformed [[work hardening]] effects are negated by the recrystallization process. Cold forging typically results in work hardening of the piece.<ref name="Degarmo373">Degarmo, p. 373</ref><ref name="Degarmo375">Degarmo, p. 375</ref>
