The ICFG consists of subgroups, each active in a particular sub-division of the main fields of interest. Themes include the most relevant and innovative aspects of cold forging processes related to materials, lubrication, dies, design, processes and numerical simulation.

Currently there are 4 active subgroups:

 
     
   
     
 
Influences of surface finishing on tool life & quality, surface topography before and after surface finishing, technologies for surface finishing, fatigue. The subgroup collects and disseminates facts about technologies and strategies regarding tool design, tool manufacturing and tool life management.
 
     
   
     
 
Residual stresses, strain hardening, minimization of operations, dimensional accuracy, distortion, grain structure, machinability, light weight design.
 
     
   
     
 
Application of numerical simulation tools, calibration thanks to reliable input data, recent developments in commercial software, limitations of current models.
 
     
   
     
 
Numerical modelling, material testing, physical simulation, machines concepts, dies wear, innovative applications.
