Product Description

Cutting

Blanking is the initial stage in the forging process, where raw materials (e.g., steel ingots, bars, plates) are cut or segmented into specific sizes and shapes to prepare for subsequent forging operations (e.g., upsetting, punching, die forging).
Saw Cutting: Ideal for high-precision, large-cross-section materials (e.g., alloy steel). Provides clean cuts but lower efficiency.
Flame Cutting: Used for large billets (e.g., thick plates). Cost-effective but requires post-processing of the heat-affected zone.
Shearing: High-speed method suitable for soft metals (e.g., aluminum, mild steel). May produce burrs on the cut edge.
Laser/Plasma Cutting: High precision and automation, ideal for complex-shaped blanks.
Breaking: Used for brittle materials (e.g., cast iron). Fast but requires controlled fracture surfaces.

Heating 

Heating is a critical step in the forging process, where raw materials (billets, bars, or ingots) are heated to a specific temperature to improve plasticity and reduce deformation resistance. Proper heating ensures optimal metal flow during forging and enhances mechanical properties.
Enhance Plasticity: Reduce yield strength for easier deformation.
Minimize Cracking: Prevent material fractures during forging.
Improve Microstructure: Promote uniform grain structure for better mechanical properties.
Carbon Steels: 1,100–1,250°C
Alloy Steels: 1,150–1,300°C
Aluminum Alloys: 350–500°C
Titanium Alloys: 850–1,100°C

Forging

Forging is a thermo-mechanical metal forming process that shapes heated or room-temperature metal billets using localized compressive forces (hammers, presses, or dies). It enhances mechanical properties by:

a) Open-Die Forging

Process: Deformation between flat dies with manual positioning
Advantage: Flexible for large/simple shapes
Example: Ship propeller shafts >10 tons
b) Closed-Die Forging

Process: High-pressure forming in engraved dies
Advantage: Tight tolerances (±0.3mm)
Example: Automotive connecting rods
c) Precision Forging

Process: Near-net-shape with minimal draft angles
Advantage: Reduces machining by >70%
Example: Aerospace fan blades

Machining

Machining of forged components is a critical post-forging process to achieve final dimensional accuracy, surface finish, and functional features. It bridges the gap between forged near-net-shape parts and end-use requirements.

Quality Control
First Article Inspection: CMM verification of critical dimensions
Surface Integrity Check: White light interferometry for roughness
NDT Requirements: Dye penetrant testing after machining
Cost Optimization Tips
Tooling: Use indexable inserts with multi-layer coatings (TiAlN/AlCrN)
Fixturing: Magnetic chucks for thin-walled forgings
Coolant: High-pressure through-tool cooling (≥70 bar)

Heat treatment

Heat treatment is an essential post-forging process that optimizes the mechanical properties of forged components through controlled heating and cooling cycles. It enhances strength, toughness, and dimensional stability while relieving internal stresses.

Key Objectives

Adjust Hardness/Toughness Balance (e.g., quench & temper)

Refine Grain Structure for improved fatigue resistance
Relieve Residual Stresses from forging deformation
Achieve Material-Specific Properties (e.g., case hardening for wear resistance)

Hardness Testing: Rockwell/Brinell at multiple locations
Microstructure Analysis: Grain size per ASTM E112
NDT Methods: Ultrasonic testing for quench cracks

Packaging

 Packaging Objectives

Packaging is the final critical step in the forging supply chain, ensuring parts reach customers without damage while preventing corrosion during storage/transportation. Proper packaging combines protection, traceability, and handling efficiency

Physical Protection – Prevent dents/scratches during transit
Corrosion Prevention – Inhibit rust in humid/salty environments
Traceability – Maintain batch/lot number visibility
Handling Optimization – Enable safe loading/unloading (weight/balance considerations)
