In forging, precise control makes all the difference. Mechanical drive systems operate at fixed penetration speeds – efficient for some tasks, but limited when material requirements become more demanding.    A hydraulic drive gives engineers full flexibility. Ram speed and forging force can be adjusted in real time, enabling precise control over material deformation throughout the entire process. Why this matters: controlled deformation is key to achieving a sound material core, minimizing defects, and ensuring consistent, reliable material properties. This becomes critical when forging challenging high-performance alloys such as titanium and inconel.    Follow along as we’ll dive deeper into the SMX technology, process innovations, and what truly sets hydraulic radial forging at SMS apart.
