摘要

A machine, tooling and method for cold forming complex metal parts such as a banjo style hose fitting (10) starting with a near net shape volume of wire and continuing with multiple forging blows and an intermediate rotation of the blank to produce a hose coupling shell end (86), a transition neck (87), a large counterbored annular coupling body (88) and a perpendicular alignment tang (68).
