Radial Forging Guide: Rotary Forging for Long, Precise Bars

Radial Forging Guide: Rotary Forging for Long, Precise Bars

Short answer: Radial forging — rotary forging — reduces and elongates bars, tubes and stepped shafts with several dies striking radially around the part as it rotates, giving a steady, precisely controlled reduction with fine grain and good concentricity. It is the route to long, accurate alloy bars and valve/piston stock that would be hard to roll or open-die forge cleanly.
