Abstract

Attempts have been made to establish the economics of high-energy rate forging (HERF) by a synthesis of costs1,2. The conclusion reached in these exercises can be no more than tentative until more experience is gained with HERF machines. But one fact emerges quite clearly; that is, that die life will be crucial in determining the overall economics of HERF.
