This study further pushes the NSF technology to produce parts that are conventionally diffcult to produce via conventional methods. A 2.7 kg 42CrMo4 steel grade component was manufactured into a complex geometry using only a 400t press. Different manufacturing parameters were evaluated to show their influence on the process and final component. A combination of X-ray fluorescence (XRF), optical microscopy and SEM analysis of the microstructure was also conducted revealing the deformation pattern of the material and shedding some light on how the material evolves during the process. The successful forging of these components shows the capability to produce previously deemed diffcult geometries, with much a lower specification forging press, in a single deformation. 1996-1944 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=161520 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/1878 steel Metal forming near solidus forming complex geometries Preliminary Study on the Capability of the Novel Near Solidus Forming (NSF) Technology to Manufacture Complex Steel Components
