GFM RADIAL FORGING

GFM radial forging is a precision process in which multiple radially arranged hammers uniformly strike a rotating hot workpiece to reduce the diameter of bars, tubes and shafts, while enhancing their internal structure. Commonly used in aerospace, automotive, energy and defence industries for components like gun barrels, drive shafts and turbine shafts. It ensures high dimensional accuracy and material integrity. The process improves mechanical properties by refining grain structure, increasing strength, toughness and fatigue resistance, while minimising material waste and machining, offering both performance and economic advantages for critical high-strength components.
