Selective hot forging and hot stretching form variable cross-sections near final size, cutting alloy waste and machining cost.
Annular bosses formed by a swaging tool lock tubes into connector grooves, avoiding glue or set-screws while improving joint stability and leak resistance.
Axial compression with inner support and a moving mold clearance creates consistent local wall thickening in hollow bodies without losing cross-sectional shape.
A piston-driven jaw and compressed spring simplify axial swaging by removing bearings and pins, reducing wear, tolerance buildup, and maintenance.
Axial compression plasticizes a hollow body wall so material flows into an outer expansion space, enabling selective thickening without changing cavity shape.
Forging a recessed hole and radial draw from one shaft blank cuts weight and machining time while improving steering torque transmission reliability.
A forged one-piece steering shaft extends a deep axial hole to cut weight, avoid fitting defects, and maintain reliable torque transmission.
Inclined dies convert vertical press motion into single-cycle swaging, cutting hot forging waste, energy use, and die wear.
