Increasing the Lightweight Potential of Composite Cold Forging by Utilizing Magnesium and Granular Cores

In this paper a process sequence, that uses forward rod extrusion with cold forged C15 steel cup billets to produce lightweight shafts, is presented. The steel cup billets feature either a lightweight magnesium alloy core or a granular medium core that is removed after forming to obtain hollow shaft...
