Raw bar forged is a bar that has been forged to a standard size (2" dia, 2x4, etc). This is intended for secondary machining operations. (turning, milling) The raw forge shape is a non-standard shape or size that is forged to the approximate dimensions of the finished product. Think of a cylinder for a steam engine. This also requires secondary machining operations. The last is a bar forged to final dimensions. The above descriptions are just my thinking on the subject. The terms you use are not the same as the ones used in the U.S. Please refer to the following link for better information.
