Common defects of hook forgings in the production process
In the production process of hook forging, there may be some defects due to the influence of many factors. These defects may affect the quality, safety and service life of the forgings. This paper will introduce the common defects of hook forgings in the production process and their causes.Surface cracks: Surface cracks are one of the common defects of hook forgings. It usually appears on the surface of the forgings, in a linear distribution. Surface cracks may be caused by improper temperature control during forging, excessive cooling rate, impurities inside the material or stress concentration.Internal cracks: Unlike surface cracks, internal cracks appear inside the forgings and usually form during forging. Internal cracks may be caused by defects in the material,…
