Forging is a processing method in which a forging hammer or a press (mechanical or hydraulic) exerts pressure on aluminum and aluminum alloy ingots or forging blanks through a hammer or an indenter to cause plastic deformation of metal. There are two basic methods for aluminum alloy forging: free forging and die forging.
More +For aluminum alloy forging process, hydraulic press is the ideal equipment for aluminum alloy forging. At present, aluminum alloy die forgings at home and abroad are mainly focused on the requirements of large forgings for aircraft, and large precision die forging hydraulic presses are paid attention to.
As the aluminum alloy forging deformation temperature range is narrow, in order to extend the forging operation time, it should be heated to the upper limit of the allowable deformation temperature as much as possible, which requires high-precision heating furnace and temperature control instrument to control the heating temperature; Otherwise, overheating may occur.
Generally speaking, the forging process consists of the following processes: selecting high-quality blanks, heating, forming and cooling after forging. The forging process includes free forging, die forging and film forging.
The ring forging loader must pass the training and examination. During loading and unloading operations, operators and tank car drivers shall not leave the site. During normal loading and unloading, the truck shall not be started at will;
Preparations before forging include selection of raw materials, calculation of materials, blanking, heating, calculation of deformation force, selection of equipment and design of die. Before forging, good lubrication method and lubricant shall be selected. Forging materials cover a wide range of surfaces, including various brands of steel and superalloys, and aluminum, magnesium, titanium, copper and other non-ferrous metals into bars and profiles of different sizes, as well as ingots of various specifications; In addition to a large number of materials suitable for domestic resources, there are also foreign materials.
