Development of a Technology for a Hydraulic Radial Forging Machine at the Elektrostal Metallurgical Plant

Resumo

A forging technology for a SMS Meer radial forging machine is described. Installing a radial forging machine is a stage of retrofitting the Elektrostal Metallurgical Plant. The technology was developed at the Elektrostal Metallurgical Plant. Forging sequences for high-speed and high-chromium steels as well as heat-resistant alloys are described. The production of square bars on the radial-forging machine using round-bar dies was tested. The forging sequences for a radial forging machine and free-forging sequences for a 16MN press are compared.
