What is a forging?
|
| |
|
The forging process is the
shaping of metal under pressure or impact to produce a desired
shape. |
|

|
| |
|
What is an upset forging?
|
| |
|
Upset forgings are made by gathering
material on the end, in the middle, or on both ends of a bar
of alloy, carbon, or stainless steel. |

|
What is an
upsetter? |
| |
|
This is a mechanical forging press
that operates on a horizontal plane. The die impressions are
split to allow a length of material to protrude beyond the
forging machine (to produce shapes such as axles and bolts).
Upsetters are used for upset forging, piercing and reducing of
bars and tubes. |
|
|
|
| |
|
What shapes can you
produce? |

Typical products include axle shafts,
pinion gear blanks, spindles (flanged & non-flanged),
drive shafts, percussion drillbits, and specialty tubing
products. |
