State the forging sequence for production of spanner.
Forging sequence for production of spanner
Forging Sequence for Spanner:
(1) The heated stock is elongated by reducing its cross section in first die. The operation is known as “Fullering”.
(2) The metal is redistributed, increasing the cross section at certain places and reducing at others as required filling the cavities of the die. The operation is known as “Edging”.
(3) General shape is given in first blocking die.
(4) Finished shape is given to forging in final impression die.
(5) Flash is removed.
(6) Heat treatment and machining is done as per requirement.
