[Staggered shift] refers to the forging process in which one part of the blank is staggered in parallel with another part by a distance, but the axis is still kept parallel. It is often used for forging crankshaft parts. When staggered, the blank is first cut locally, and then impact force or pressure of equal size, opposite method and perpendicular to the axis is applied on both sides of the incision, so that the blank can be offset.
