Roll forging Roll forging is a process where round or flat bar stock is reduced in thickness and increased inlength.

Roll forging is performed using two cylindrical or semi-cylindrical rolls, each containingone or more shaped grooves. A heated bar is inserted into the rolls and when it hits a stop therolls rotate and the bar is progressively shaped as it is rolled out of the machine. The work pieceis then transferred to the next set of grooves or turned around and reinserted into the samegrooves. This continues until the desired shape and size is achieved. The advantage of this process is there is no flash and it imparts a favorable grain structure into the workpiece. [18] Examples of products produced using this method include eaxles, tapered levers and leaf springs.

2. what is roll forging?==Roll-forging is a process by which a varying section along the longitudinal directionof workpiece can be obtained by using rolling dies and is also called reducer-rolling3. Main characteristics.. ==== a) high productivity, b) high utilization rate of material, c) good labor conditions, long life of the rolling dies etc d) In addition, dueto the rational stream-line-distribution of metal fibers and uniformly distributedmetallographic structure, roll-forging products exhibit better mechanical propertiesand reliability than those manufactured by die-forging or machining 4 Application::: Typical examples are airplane propeller blade half sections, taperedaxle shafts, tapered leaf springs, table knife blades, hand shovels and spades
