What is swaging?
Swaging is a fabrication process used to reduce or increase
the diameter of tubes or rods via swaging.
Swaging is accomplished by placing the tube or rod inside a
die that applies compressive force by hammering radially. This
can be further expanded by placing a mandrel inside the tube
and applying radial compressive forces on the outer diameter.
Thus, the inner diameter can be a different shape. Swaging is
used by various industries. Fabrication companies often perfrom
swaging.
