Upset Forging

Upset forging involves locally heating a metal bar and then, while holding it firmly with special tooling, applying pressure to the end of the bar in the direction of its axis to deform it. The process allows the production of long parts with a forged end.

• Greater Strength:As the material grain flow is oriented to the component's shape, compared to parts machined from bar stock, upset forgings offer greater strength.
• Piercing and Trimming Operations:This contribute towards component weight reduction and eliminate machining operations.
• Economical Production:As Upset forgings require fewer operations, have lower scrap costs, that can result in more cost efficient production
