This is another forge shop application.

Closed die forgings produced on horizontal forging machines ( up setters)  are similar to those produced by hammers or presses. Each is the result of forcing metal into cavities in dies which separate at  parting lines. Typical applications include axle flange formation.

The end length of a bar is heated to forging temperature and put into an upsetter to do the necessary hot forming  operation.  The induction end har heating takes different shapes & mechanical arrangements to suit  the operator  handling convenience, production cycle time matched to the upsetter.
