Purpose of this article was to introduce a new method of forging which is called “Cross Die Forging”. In this method, the required force (load) is reduced to the greatest possible degree through elimination of flash channel; however, this would also decrease the positive effect of flash channel, namely filling the gaps and pores within the mold. Cross die forging procedure provides a way for providing a better preform design which ensures that the mold is filled without allowing the material to enter the flash channel. This method has been invented based on the need to decrease the production costs and to use lower tonnage pressing devices for production of heavy parts. This method is an economical method only for parts that: A) Has at least one plane of symmetry and the two ends that are perpendicular to the symmetry plane are flat; B) Has a weight that makes it impossible to be manufactured by rolling or roll forging processes. Examples of such parts are valve’s body, T-junctions, etc.
