Summary
The history and development of the forging process with particular reference to the production of discs for aero gas turbine engines have been reviewed. How the technological requirements of the engine manufacturer have been translated into improvements in equipment, processing techniques, alloys, and quality control procedures has been discussed. Future developments are analysed with reference to powders and their associated processing.
