Höganäs Automatic PM-Forging System, Concept and Application

On the premises of Höganäs Central Laboratory in Sweden, a fully automated PM-forging system has been installed as a pilot-line for the development of actual components at the services of interested clients and for the study of technological and economic aspects of the process under production-like conditions. A description of the forging line is given, high-lighting its main features.

A selection of PM-forged components is presented which have been developed on this line on contract basis for various clients. Examples are given of forging know-how extracted from experiments utilizing the described equipment.
