Upset forging and cost reduction

This is an introduction to cost reduction examples through upset forging.

"Although I was asked to improve the process, I don't know what to do." "The amount to be removed is large, and it takes a long time to process." "I want to reduce material costs." Are you struggling with these kinds of issues? This time, we have summarized an introduction to upset forging and examples of cost reduction. 【What is Upset Forging?】 It is one of the free forging forming methods, also known as "suekome." Generally, this forging technique involves heating the tip or middle of a material (round bar) and then applying pressure in the axial direction to reduce height while simultaneously increasing cross-sectional area to shape it. 【Advantages】 Reduction in material costs and shortening of processing time. 【Disadvantages】 It may become expensive if there is not a certain minimum lot size. Please feel free to contact us regarding cost reduction considerations with upset forging. We have compiled data on the price difference resulting from changing the process from round bar/free forging to upset forging. We offer a wide range of services including materials, heat treatment, lathe work, machining, polishing, and inspection. We will provide the best proposals tailored to our customers.
