Abstract
This work is devoted to the study of the forging process of round cross-section blanks in a new design crossing strikers, which ensures the additional shear deformation implementation in the entire volume of the deformable workpiece during the deformation process.This contributes to a better closure of internal defects and a more intensive and uniform processing of the initial metal structure compared with forging in the previously known design of crossing strikers, as well as compared with forging in conventional cut-out strikers.Moreover, the presence of an additional block of cut-out inserts in this design of crossing strikers allows to obtain forgings with an even cross-section, close to a circle, without additional processing of the forgings obtained in the cut-out strikers.
