Abstract

See full text

An embodiment includes a method for net shape forging of a large rotor shaft that includes a reduced central cylindrical section and integrally forged segments along the longitudinal length thereof. In an embodiment, the net shaped forging is produced by sequentially pressing the work piece such that a near net shaped forging of the machined work piece is produced, including upset geometries such as eccentric or concentric disks. This permits a reduction in waste material (e.g., due to the machining process) and improves the strength of the upset geometries. Other aspects are described and claimed.
