An old, but very economical, manufacturing process may be just what you need for your furniture leg, motor cycle exhaust, well points, medical instrument or many of today's thousands of tube components. Tube Swaging is stingy of material, tooling, and labor costs, yet improves material characteristics and surface finish; can even be used to make assemblies without fasteners or welding.
Swaging is a process that is used to reduce or increase the diameter of tubes and/or rods. This is done by placing the tube or rod inside a die that applies compressive force by hammering radially. This can be further expanded by placing a mandrel inside the tube and applying radial compressive forces on the outer diameter. Thus, the inner diameter can be a different shape, for example a hexagon, and the outer is still circular.
Tube Swaging is a method way to manufacture symmetrical parts on relatively simple and inexpensive equipment. Engineers hail its ability to turn ductile bar stock or tubing into finished parts without wasting a smidgen of material; its ability to increase tensile strength, elastic limits, and hardness without heat treating; and its ability to produce finishes comparable to burnishing.
