An overview of the upset forging process by KDK Forging Co.
A metal bar is heated locally during upset forging, and the bar is then tightly held using specialized tooling while pressure is applied to the end of the bar in the direction of the axis to distort it. Long pieces with forged ends can be produced using this method. As opposed to the electro-upsetting method, upset forging does not permit as much variance between the original bar diameter and the forged head diameter. However, because the deformation is done in stages, it does enable the creation of considerably more intricate shapes. Here KDK Forging Co . will deliver an overview of the upset forging process . Uses Shafts, screws, piston rods, and other lengthy parts for the automobile industry, public works, aviation, and many other fields of application are produced using upset forging. Production Upset forging can produce large quantities of elongated pieces as a continuation of hot forging. The creation of axisymmetric pieces with complex geometry is made possible by the head
