FORWARD EXTRUSION FORGING APPARATUS AND FORWARD EXTRUSION FORGING METHOD

摘要

A forward extrusion forging apparatus includes: a die having a hollow portion whose diameter is reduced at an intermediate position; and a punch that is positioned behind a workpiece placed in the hollow portion, slides in the hollow portion, and extrudes the workpiece ahead of the hollow portion so that the workpiece is forged. An extruding surface of the punch, which extrudes the workpiece, is recessed in a direction opposite an extruding direction in a manner such that a center portion of the extruding surface is most recessed.
