In this work, a metal bar fine-cropping system is designed to study the influence load control strategies based on theoretical and cropping experiments. The principle of the new cropping system and mechanical compositions system are introduced. Three different load control strategies are designed based on duralumin alloy AlCu4Mg1 bar, and the optimal loading order is determined under them. According to a new proposed cross-section quality evaluation method, the test results show constant stress intensity factor range of external load ([Formula: see text]), linear decreasing cyclic load of appropriate time coefficient ([Formula: see text]) can obtain better cropping effect and the best quality is obtained by the loading cycle ([Formula: see text]).
