Step-by-step explanation:

Closed die forging:

This is also known as impression die forging.By using the two die ,impression are made to produce desired forge product.A small gap provides between these two dies ,this small gap is called flash gutter.By the help of flash gutter excess ,material can flow and forms flash.

This flash plays an important role in the closed die forging.Generally friction is high in the flash gutter due to high ratio of length to thickness.So material feels high pressure and confirm the filling of die cavity.
