Ummm......No. This is the art of metallurgy. This is heating metal almost to the melting point so it gets soft and pliable, and loses magnetism. Once the metal gets soft, you can manipulate it mainly with a hammer or a press. Hope this helps.

We normally allow between 3 to 5% heat wastage on stock to be forged. The allowance is decided upon regarding the amount of heats required and the complexity of the forging. Heat wastage does reduce stock as it is steel lost by oxidisation. Thats why we make allowance for it. Scale is not the same as slag. slag contains impurities fluxes etc, scale is almost pure iron. Pigs can fly you must be really old, forgers have been working with presses and manipulators since the 1800s.
