Abstract

Flashless precision forging is a special process of drop forging performed in closed dies. This process is distinguished by high quality and the ability to achieve a near net-shape part. Latest research results have shown that it is possible to forge a two-cylinder crankshaft without flash. This was realized using a multi-directional forging tool and a flashless precision forging operation. A new method for a three dimensional shrinking compensation facilitates the construction process.
