Radial forging is a precision forging process where multiple (2-8) hammers are distributed around the billet, performing high-frequency synchronous forging blows along the axis of the forged billet. The billet rotates while axially feeding, causing it to elongate and thin under multi-head helical stretching and deformation.
Applications
Radial forging is suitable for long shaft-type forgings of various shapes, solid or hollow, as well as long, straight hollow shaft forgings with complex internal contours (such as internal threaded holes, internal spline holes, gun barrel rifling, etc.) or very small internal diameters.
