Forging Operations:: 1: Drawing

1. The document describes 10 common forging operations: drawing, upsetting, fullering, edging, bending, punching, forged welding, cutting, flattening/setting down, and swaging. 2. Drawing elongates metal by reducing its cross-sectional area through the application of force perpendicular to the length axis. Upsetting increases cross-sectional area by applying force parallel to the length axis. 3. Fullering decreases cross-section and increases length by placing heated metal over a bottom fuller and striking it with a top fuller. Edging, bending, punching, forged welding, cutting, and swaging are also briefly described.

Forging operations:

1: Drawing:
This is the operation in which metal gets elongated with a reduction in the cross
sedation area. For this, a force is to be applied in a direction perpendiaulant to the
length axis.

2:Up setting:
This is applied to increase the cross seat ional area of the stock at the expanse of
the length. To achieve the length of upsetting force is applied in a direction parallel
to the length axis, For example forming of a bolt head.

3:Fullering:
It a similar to material cross-section is decreased and length increased. To do this;
the bottom fuller is kept in angle hole with the heated stock over the fuller .the top
fuller is then kept above the stock and then with the sledge hammer, and the force
is applied on the top fuller.

4:Edging:
It is a process in which the metal piece is displaced to the desired shape by striking
between two dies edging is frequently as primary drop forging operation.

5:Bending:
Bending is very common forging operation. It is an operation to give a turn to
metal rod or plate. This is required for those which have bends shapes.

6:Punching:
It is a process of producing holes in motel plate is placed over the hollow
cylindrical die. By pressing the punch over the plate the hole is made.

7:Forged welding:
It is a process of joining two metal pieces to increase the length. By the
pressing or hammering then when they are at for ging temperature.Itis performed
in forging shop and hence is called forged welding.

8:Cutting:
It is a process in which a metal rod or plate cut out into two pieces, with the help
of chisel and hammer, when the metal is in red hot condition.

9:Flating and setting down:


Fullering leaves a corrugated surface on the job. Even after a job is forged into
shape with a hammer, the marks of the hammer remains on the upper surface of the
job. To remove hammer marks and corrugation and in order to obtain a smooth
surface on the job, a flatter or set hammer is used.

10: Swaging:
Swaging is done to reduce and finish work for desire size and shape, usually either
round or hexagonal. For small jobs top and bottom swage pair is employed, where
as for large work swage block can be used.
