Abstract
Radial forging is an open die forging process used for reducing diameter of shafts, tubes, stepped shafts and axels, and creating the internal profiles for tubes such as rifling the gun barrels. In the present research, a new model based on calculating the deformation work was developed to find an upper bound limit for the deformation load in the case of radial forging of rods and tubes. Also, the model was used to assess the effects of the process parameters. The accuracy of the model was tested by comparing the predicted results with those achieved from the experiment at work of Uhlig [Investigation of the motions and the forces in radial swaging. Doctoral Dissertation, Technical University Hannover, 1964]. A good agreement was found between the two sets of results.
