Experiments on the rotary forging of discs are described in which measurements are taken of pressure distribution under the rocking die using a pressure-sensing platen.
The results suggest a deformation mechanism for the spread of the disc, involving the development of plastic hinges away from the immediate die contact area. This would explain central tensile failures and related phenomena observed previously.
