What is Upset Forging in Halesowen?
Upset forging in Halesowen is a specialised method of hot forging that aims to increase the diameter of a metal workpiece by compressing its length. Typically, this is performed using horizontal forging machines. It allows for the creation of strong, uniform shapes, particularly at the end of bars, rods and shafts.
The application of heat and pressure simultaneously will improve the metal’s grain structure, resulting in components with superior strength and durability. For sectors that need components in high-stress environments or with enhanced fatigue resistance, B.B. Price can help you!

When is Upset Forging Used?
Upset forging in Halesowen is used by our team for a wide array of parts, components and situations where high strength and precision are required. There are a number of projects that will require dimensional accuracy and material integrity in order to meet demands. Common cases of upset forging include:
- Forming bolts, fasteners and shafts
- Producing valve components and couplings
- Manufacturing parts for sectors such as automotive, rail and energy sectors
- Manufacturing custom forged components for unique engineering applications.
When there is a need to alter the shape of a metal component, but the structural integrity should not be compromised, upset forging is particularly useful as a technique. Where safety and performance matter most, upset forged components are key.
