Answer 1

Explanation:

The dies used in the forging process are made in pair because the dies are used for gripping and applying a compressive force to give the final shape to the raw material.
Referring to the examples of pair of dies, in the closed die forging process, metal is kept in between a pair of dies and a gutter is provided in the lower die. In the impression die forging process, metal is kept in between a pair of dies and no gutter is provided in the lower die.
