Spheroidizing is a form of heat treatment of iron-based alloys, which is done at temperatures that are slightly below the critical range and followed by a slow cooling process. The process of spheroidizing is a specific heat treatment of steels, mainly carbon steel.
Press forging may be defined as the process of shaping a metal that is placed between two dies by applying mechanical or hydraulic pressure.
Rockwell hardness testing is a method of determining the relative hardness of a material. In this test, hardness is measured by determining the depth of residual penetration by a steel ball or a diamond point under load.

Charpy testing is a method for determining the relative impact strength of metals. It is also known as Charpy V notch test.
Mandrel forging is a forging operation that is done with the help of a tool called mandrel. A mandrel is a blunt ended tool or a rod that is sued to enlarge or retain the cavity in a hollow metal product during forging.
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a technique used for fabricating 3D solid objects from a digital model. Additive processes are used to achieve 3D printing, wherein successive material layers are laid to create an object.
