Heat Treatment of Forgings
Heat Treatment of Forgings 13 Issuing time:2025-07-06 15:43 Author:Timothy Forgings Heat Treatment of Forgings Almost all cold-, warm-, and hot-stamped parts must undergo heat treatment to become qualified components. The quality of the heat treatment process plays a decisive role in ensuring and improving part performance, precision, stability, and service life. Raw materials, heating, and heat treatment processes are critical to ensuring part quality. The forging process itself also impacts the heat treatment of forgings. The heat treatment of forgings is tailored based on the type of forging and the raw materials used. Key parameters include heating temperature, holding time, and cooling rate. By coordinating heating processes (equipment, heating speed, and atmosphere) and cooling processes (equipment and medium), forgings achieve the required metallographic structure and mechanical properties while avoiding defects (e.g., deformation, cracks, or abnormal structure...
