Upset Forging Process

-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
