Swaging & Pointing

Swaging has a number of advantages over other methods of material reduction. We specialise in swaging metal into non standard shapes e.g. flats into round, square section into round or four sided tapers.

What are the Benefits of Swaging?

• Improved surface finish.
• Zero material wastage (when swaging the material will grow in length)
• Uses low-cost tooling.
• Improves grain structure & tensile strength of material.

The Swaging Process

The Swaging process reduces the diameter or produces a taper on a round work piece. This can be solid or tube. The swaging machine works by using 2, 3 or 4 opposing split dies which separate and close up to 2000 times a minute.
