Just remember guys that "Billet" basically refers to a chunk of material. The forging process is secondary. A billet or ingot would be placed into the forging dies to generate a forging. The problem with forging of course is manufacturing the forging dies themselves. This is the reason for the high initial setup cost.
And the huge advantage of forging is the inherent strength. The forging process changes the grain structure. GIVEN the exact same part dimensions, the forging will have much better strength characteristics.Nick DiPrenda
