Forging technology is a metal processing technology that applies pressure to metal blanks through forging machinery to cause plastic deformation, thereby obtaining forgings with certain mechanical properties, certain shapes and sizes. This process is widely used in machinery, automobiles, aviation and other fields, especially for the production of important parts with high loads and severe working conditions.
The forging process mainly includes the following steps:
1. Material selection and preparation: First, select metal materials with good plasticity and toughness and prepare them into forging blanks. The choice of materials will be determined according to the requirements of the final product.
2. Heating: The metal blank needs to be heated to a certain temperature to improve its plasticity and facilitate the subsequent forging process. Different metal materials have different heating temperature requirements.
3. Forging: Forging the metal blank on a forging machine (such as a forging hammer, press, etc.). Forging is divided into free forging and die forging. Free forging uses simple universal tools, while die forging is carried out in a forging die chamber with a certain shape, which can produce forgings with complex shapes.
4. Cooling: The metal after forging needs to be properly cooled to maintain its shape and performance.
5. Post-processing: Including heat treatment, cleaning, inspection and other steps to ensure the quality and performance of the forgings.
6. The advantages of the forging process include:
High production efficiency and low labor intensity.
The forging size is accurate and the machining allowance is small.
Forgings with complex shapes can be forged.
The forging streamlines inside the forging are distributed according to the forging contour, which improves the mechanical properties and service life of the parts.
However, there are also some limitations in the forging process:
The mold cost is high and special die forging equipment is required.
Not suitable for single piece or small batch production.
The weight of the die forging is limited by the capacity of the die forging equipment.
Die forging process can be divided into hammer die forging, crank press die forging, flat forging machine die forging, etc. according to different equipment. Die forging process also includes precision die forging, which can forge some parts with complex shapes and high dimensional accuracy, such as bevel gears, blades, aviation parts, etc.
In short, forging technology is an efficient and precise metal processing technology. It produces forgings with excellent performance by precisely controlling the plastic deformation of metal to meet the high standards of modern industry.
