Deformation Process of Forgings

Image
  Deformation Process of Forgings Stamped parts  refer to the process of shaping metalbillets into desired forms by applying force, along with  heattreatment  in  forging processes . Forging isa critical metal-forming method used to produce components with complex shapes,excellent mechanical properties, and high surface quality. Below are thegeneral steps in the deformation process of forging. Billet Preparation : Select suitable metal billets, typically with circular orsquare cross-sections. The billet dimensions and shape must meet the finalforging requirements. Heating : Heatthe billet to an appropriate temperature to ensure sufficient plasticity. Thetemperature depends on the metal type and composition. Cutting off : Placethe heated billet into forging dies and cut it into suitable shapes and sizesbased on the forging’s design. Preforging :Perform preliminary forging to adapt the billet to the die shape and reducesubsequent forging force Forging : Applypress...

The Art and Science of Warm Forging

  The Art and Science of  Warm Forging Introduction to Warm Forging Warm forging is a metalworking process that lies between cold forging and hot forging. It is typically carried out at temperatures ranging from 200°C to 800°C. This temperature range offers several advantages over the other two forging methods. Compared to cold forging, warm forging reduces the forming force required. In cold forging, the metal is at room temperature, and the high strength of the metal at this state demands large amounts of force to reshape it. For example, when forging a small steel component in cold forging, a hydraulic press with a very high tonnage may be needed. In warm forging, the elevated temperature softens the metal slightly, allowing for easier deformation with less force. On the other hand, warm forging has better dimensional accuracy than hot forging. In hot forging, the metal is heated to very high temperatures (usually above 800°C), which can lead to significant thermal expansio...

Principles of Forging

  Principles of Forging Principles of Forging: Identifying Forging Temperatures by Observing Workpiece Color Heating the workpiece is a preliminary step in the forging process during forging production. The purpose of heating is to improve the plasticity of the forging blank and reduce deformation resistance, thereby enhancing its forging properties. Generally, as temperature increases, the strength of metallic materials decreases, plasticity increases, and deformation resistance diminishes. With smaller deformation forces, the shape of the workpiece can be stably altered without fracturing. Thus, the initial forging temperature and final forging temperature are particularly critical in production. The highest allowable heating temperature for a workpiece during forging is termed the initial forging temperature of the material. If the heating temperature exceeds the initial forging temperature, forging quality will degrade, potentially leading to scrap. The temperature at which for...

Forging Process Design and Process Control

  Forging Process Design and Process Control Issuing time:2025-05-31 20:31 Author:Timothy Forgings Forging Process Design and Process Control In the aerospace industry,  large scale forgings  involve diverse materials and processes with varying control requirements. Without  classified management  of these processes and clear operational guidelines, challenges such as non-standardized workflows, difficulties in process verification and improvement, recurring errors, and excessive demands on process engineers may arise. Core technical management becomes fragmented, foundational technical practices remain weak, and efficient production methods are lacking. Engineers are overwhelmed by heavy workloads, prioritizing task completion over quality, while inadequate process improvement mechanisms render continuous optimization ineffective. Thus, systematically enhancing process management and reducing operational costs are urgent priorities for enterprise development. 1...
