Innovative Metal Forming Techniques Developed at the Lublin University of Technology

Article Preview

Abstract:

This study presents innovative metal forming techniques that have been developed at the Lublin University of Technology in Lublin, Poland, including rotary compression, cross wedge rolling and roll forging. Dozens of Polish patents and several European patents have been granted for inventions based on the use of the above forming techniques. This study gives an overview of applications of these innovative techniques for producing stepped axes and shafts (including hollow and gear shafts) that are made of steel and light metal alloys (aluminium, titanium). It also presents prototype machines for forming metals and metal alloys.
