Question

In rotary swaging, a unitary or single die is used during the processing of metallic bar or rod.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in an online quiz.

Question is taken from Swaging topic in section Miscellaneous Forming Processes of Casting-Forming-Welding II

Answer 1

The correct option is (b) False

To explain I would say: In rotary swaging process, the radial motions of the dies are very important for most of the applications. In general, a die set mainly consists of four die segments which basically depends on the type of application or use, and also depends on the size of the machine tool. In special cases of swaging, the number of die sets can be used up to eight dies.
