John Tracy x. 3806

A ram swage is a fixed die that produces a smooth swage with no segment lines. The downside to a ram swage is that there is no adjustment in the tooling. If the wall thickness varies a little or if the O.D. is slightly larger or smaller, the fit of the swage will vary. With a segment swage there is some adjustment to accommodate variations in the weld seam
height, wall thickness and O.D. dimensions. Because the die actually opens and squeezes the tube, you do get some ridges formed on the swage.
