Abstract
Rotary swaging is an industrially applicable intensive plastic deformation method. Due to its versatility, it is popular, especially in the automotive industry. Similar to the well-known methods of severe plastic deformation (SPD), rotary swaging imparts high shear strain into the swaged materials and thus introduces grain refinement down to a very fine, even ultra-fine, level. However, contrary to SPD methods, one of the primary characteristics of which is that they retain the shapes and dimensions of the processed sample, rotary swaging enables the imparting of required shapes and dimensions of workpieces (besides introducing structure refinement and the consequent enhancement of properties and performance). Therefore, under optimized conditions, swaging can be used to process workpieces of virtually any metallic material with theoretically any required dimensions. The main aim of this review is to present the principle of the rotary swaging method and its undeniable advantages. The focus is primarily on assessing its pros and cons by evaluating the imparted microstructures.
