This study is concerned with the rotary powder compacting by the cold rotary forging process. An experiment has been carried out using the rotary powder forging press(500kN) which was designed and constructed in the authors' laboratory. The detailed comparisons of several mechanical test by rotary powder forging and rotary powder compacting process are given. It is found that the highly densified P/M parts can be obtained and this process is very effective for improving quality of the powder products.

Powder metallurgy process has many advantages such as hight efficientyof material, mass productivity and complex shape production with good mechanical properties. Among the powder forming processes, incremental forging allows the consolidation to be achieved with amaller force then those required by conventional forging. In particular the proces known as rotary forging is an unique and prodominant process known as rotary forging is an unique and prodominant process in which the working constraints approximate to those in normal closed die forging. This study is concerned with the powder compaction by rotary forging process. An experimental rotary forging press with 500kN load capacity has been developed, which is equippe dwith the rotational conicla die inclined to the central axis of the press at arbitrary angle. It is found that the highly densified P/M parts can be obtained by rotary forging process and the material properties are superior to those of the conventrional sintered parts. The detailedcomparision of the mechanical properties by rotary forging process with those by conventional process are given.

This study is concerned with cold repressing of sintered preforms by the rotary forging process. An experiment has been carried out using the rotary powder forging press(500kN) which was designed and constructed in the authors' laboratory. The effect of process variables and aspect ration of sintered preform on the densification behavior during the rotary repressing was studied by several mechanical test such as working force hardness distribution density and microstructures of the specimens. Since a higher densification can be achieved by applying the rotary repressing on presinted preforms it was successively demonstrated that the cold rotary powder forging is an effective operation to improve quality of P/M parts.

The Inconel 706 alloy is a nickel-based super alloy and requires a large load for hot forging due to its excellent mechanical properties at high temperature. Rotary forging process is an innovative metal forging process where workpiece is gradually deformed by the revolving conical upper die with an inclination angle. This process allows that the workpiece is partially in contact with an upper die during the process so that the press force is considerably lower compared with the conventional upsetting process. In this study, experiments of rotary forging process and conventional upsetting process for cylindrical parts using Inconel 706 where conducted to investigate the formability of rotary forging process. And microstructure analysis and mechanical properties of Inconel 706 were performed to investigate the effect of rotary forging process on the material property.

The present investigation is concerned with application of theory on fracture to the prediction of workability of materials in rotary forging with special reference to center crack. The validity of the theory on ductile fracture was examined by the experimental data. Then the workability of materials in rotary forging was determined.

A monobloc tubular drive shaft is designed to obtain the improved structural safety and the weight reduction of the drive shaft together. The monobloc tubular drive shaft can be manufactured from an incremental hot rotary forging process. The aim of this study was to experimentally determine conditions of an incremental hot rotary forging process for a monobloc tubular drive shaft. Induction heating experiments were performed to estimate a proper heating time of an initial workpiece in an induction heating process. Several incremental hot rotary forging experiments were carried out using a mechanical press with the designed set-up. The step distance and the step angle were chosen as controllable forming parameters. Based on the results of the experiments, the influence of forming parameters on the quality of the forged part was investigated. Finally, a forming map and a proper forming condition of the incremental hot rotary forging process were estimated.

The rotary forging process has a potential for producing high-precision parts because of smaller forging forces and incrementally controlled deformation, especially in cold forging of intricate parts to net shape. But while thin circular plate are made by rotary forging, center thinning and fracture will occur under given conditions. The trouble has seriously influenced the quality of products and the spreading of this technique. This paper intends to explain the phenomenon of center thinning and gives a criterion of it. In order to confirm the validity of the proposed criterion, experiments have been carried out by using the rotary forging press which has been designed and constructed in our laboratory.

Rotary forging process has many advantages such as compacting of machine, low price of facilities and good quality of products. The last presented was a technical report about rotary forging press in the 100-ton class, which has the only orbital motion limited to the forming of axisymmetric parts. In this paper, the newly developed rotary forging press is introduced. The maximum capacity of forming load is 280 ton and five locking motion, this is, orbital, straight pivot, spiral and two kinds of clover can be available. This machine consists of transmission, double eccentric bush, rocking shaft, die set and hydraulic unit. Especially, the supports of rocking shaft and double eccentric bush are so crucial that hydrostatic bearings are adopted. Finally, it is expected that the technical know-how obtained in this research can be applied to the manufacturing of the another machine with large capacity.
