What are the production processes of metal forgings?

The production process of metal forgings mainly includes the following steps:

Pretreatment: including the selection of metal materials, melting, casting, solidification, heat treatment and other steps to prepare the metal materials required for subsequent forging.

Forging: The pre-treated metal material is heated to a suitable temperature, and then forged on the forging equipment to change the shape and size of the metal material, and to achieve the required strength, toughness and other mechanical properties.

Heat treatment: Through heating and cooling methods to change the internal structure of metal materials to improve the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of metal forgings.

Machining: The metal materials after forging are turned, milling, drilling and other mechanical processing to meet the required dimensional accuracy and surface roughness requirements.

Inspection: Quality inspection of metal forgings, including dimensional inspection, appearance inspection, mechanical property inspection, etc., to ensure that products meet relevant standards and use requirements.

In addition to the above basic steps, for specific different metal materials and different application scenarios, the production process of metal forgings may be different, such as the use of continuous forging, die forging, free forging and other methods to meet different production efficiency and product quality requirements. At the same time, the production process of metal forgings also needs to pay attention to safety and environmental protection and other issues.
