Upset Forging

A bar of uniform cross section, usually round, is held between grooved dies, pressure is applied on the end in the direction of the axis of the bar by using a heading tool which spreads the end by metal displacement.

Upset Forging Properties

• Typical size 1/2″-2.5″ diameter stock
• Good dimensional accuracy
• Rapid production rate
• High reliability
• Large material savings
• Reduced machining required
• Controlled grain flow
• High impact characteristics
• Typical machining- Turning/threading/milling
