Swaging

Product overview

MCP swages in-house. Swaging is a special type of forging process in which metal is formed by a succession of rapid hammer blows. Used to reduce the outer diameter of round, flat, square rod, pipe or tubing, swaging provides a reduced round cross section suitable for subsequent machining and/or forming operations such as tapping, threading, upsetting, welding, etc. Swaged components benefit from increased tensile strength and improved appearance as a result of this hot forging process. Swaging also minimizes stress points commonly caused by milling ends for threading. If only one end is swaged, the other end can be formed or machined to your specifications. Use swaging to eliminate secondary machining and welding operations.
