Rotary swaging is a method of forging automotive drive shafts. In this paper, we propose a new two-hammer forging technique by applying the problem-solving approach TRIZ to improve the efficiency and productivity of the rotary swaging automation process. We will simplify the materials and hammers via the 3D modeling tool SolidWorks for high accuracy of a comparative analysis of existing and proposed methods under the same boundary conditions. In addition, we will compare the stress trends of the proposed model using ANSYS Workbench and verify the feasibility through a comparison of the simulation results using DEFORM. Relative to the existing method, the proposed method can decrease production costs and improve efficiency of the automation process by reducing the power source.
