Axiforge process

...technique. Sub-assembly sideways tooling is quite complex with the use of slide cones. Tool life on hot forging small steel components is low. Tool life is better on hot forging brass components, since this is done at lower temperatures than for steel. Materials: Material range is restricted to those that produce acceptable die and punch lives. Steel components can be...
