 abstract={This paper presents the results of research into the cross wedge rolling (CWR) process of axle forgings. The presented results concern the parallel rolling process with two wedges. The use of two parallel wedges is aimed at shortening the tool length (increasing productivity) and reducing the values of wedge opening angles and increasing the forming angles, so that the condition 0.04 ≤ tgαtgβ ≤ 0.08 is maintained to guarantee the highest quality forgings. The article analyses the influence of the design of the double wedge tool on the geometric correctness of the forgings obtained, the value of the failure criterion and the force parameters of the process. The results obtained show that the use of multi wedge tools improves rolling conditions by increasing productivity and reducing the tendency of the material to crack with appropriately selected tool parameters.},
