The thermal energy is transferred to the anvil and hammer.
Explanation:
In metallurgical processes, part of the thermal energy present in the hot metal is transferred to the anvil and the hammer. This is because the anvil and the hammer have different temperature than the temperature of the hot metal. With that, part of the thermal energy of the metal will be transferred to the hammer and the anvil, in an attempt to balance the thermal energy in the 3 objects.
