| This paper presents a new process for forming stepped shafts by upsetting with two movable deformation zones. The developed technology enables several shaft steps to be formed at the same time, thereby increasing process efficiency and reducing material consumption. A distinctive feature of the process is that it uses two forming sleeves, each with a variable cross-section of the impression, which move in an opposite direction to that of the punches during operation. This results in a simultaneous occurrence of upsetting and extrusion, thus leading to intensified plastic deformation and stabilized metal flow. The practical applicability of the process is demonstrated on the example of a forged railway axle. An analysis is carried out by the finite element method (FEM) using specimens of hot-formed C35 steel. The obtained results reveal proper material flow and the correct filling of the tool impressions. The examination of strain and stress distributions confirms favorable forming conditions. The calculated values of the Cockcroft–Latham integral indicate favorable forming conditions and a low risk of fracture initiation during the analyzed process. The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed technology and provide a basis for future experimental verification and industrial assessment |
