Radial Forging Machines

Radial Forging Technology, for precision forging in the defense industry.

Barrel Forging

GFM Radial Forging machines are special purpose machines for the production of internally rifled and smooth barrels and they incorporate all of the well known features of GFM Precision Forging Machines.

Technology

Net Formed bore including rifling

Utilizing cold forging over a mandrel, the lands and grooves can be forged in one operation to a net finished condition. As an option, the chamber can be included in the same operation.

Your Advantages:

  • Shortest Processing Time
    • For producing complete internal profile
  • High Accuracy of bore by cold forging
    • No additional operations required for internal bore
  • Excellent surface finish of bore
  • Finer grain structure
  • Increased tensile strength
  • Automatic sequence
    • The machine is fully automatic, including loading of blanks and unloading of finished forged barrels
