Study on Near-Net Shape Forging of Large Marine Crank Throws by Longjiang Niu, Qingliang Zhang, Yongwan Zhang, Jingyu Wang, Weiping Luo, Donghang Liu, Tengfei Ma, Xavier Velay

“…The grooving–upsetting step in the G–U/BE process forms a rigid journal end web shape that influences the subsequent backward extrusion, with the relative groove depth (the ratio of groove depth to width) playing a crucial role in the final forging quality. Optimal crank throw formation occurs when the ratio is 1.5; deeper grooves increase the load required, diminishing the effectiveness of the grooving–upsetting step. …”
