Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a method of upset forging comprising inserting a stock material into a die, the stock material having a free axial portion with upper and lower surfaces. Next, a punch is used to apply an axial (e.g. horizontal) compression force against the free axial portion of the stock material whilst constraining the upper and lower surfaces of the free axial portion. The constraining positon restricts movement of the free axial portion in a direction substantially perpendicular (e.g. vertical) to the axial compression force thus preventing buckling of the free axial portion.
