Upset Forging
Upset forging compresses the end of a bar to thicken it locally, producing heads on bolts, studs and valves at high rate. Huaxiao delivers upset forging as part of our ISO 9001:2015 certified Forging capabilities — from rapid prototyping to high-volume production, with full dimensional inspection and material certification on every order.
What Is Upset Forging?
Upset Forging is a specialized capability within our Forging service. Upset forging compresses the end of a bar to thicken it locally, producing heads on bolts, studs and valves at high rate. It is chosen when parts demand the specific combination of geometry, tolerance, material and volume that this process delivers best. Our engineers select and fine-tune the exact parameters for your application to balance performance, lead time and cost.
