The Art of Precision Manufacturing: Production process and quality control of aerospace forgings

The aerospace field has extremely high requirements for the precision and quality of parts, and forging as a key component, its production process and quality control are particularly important. This article will introduce the production process and control points of aerospace forgings in detail, and reveal the art and importance of precision manufacturing.

1. Preliminary preparation

Design drawings: According to product requirements and design specifications, develop detailed design drawings, clear material, size, performance and other requirements.

Materials procurement: According to the requirements of the design drawings, procurement of high quality materials that meet the standards.

Machine commissioning: Commissioning and maintenance of production equipment to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition.

Second, the production process

Raw material procurement: Select high-quality materials that meet the standards to ensure that the performance and quality of raw materials meet the requirements.

Heating: The raw material is heated to a certain temperature to soften it for subsequent molding and processing.

Extrusion: The softened material is extruded by special equipment to form a preliminary forgings.

Cutting: The initial forging is cut to meet the dimensions required by the design drawings.

Welding: Welding the forgings after cutting to make them complete parts.

Inspection: The quality inspection of the completed forging is carried out to check whether the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, mechanical properties and other indicators meet the requirements.

Third, quality control

Dimensional accuracy control: By using high-precision equipment and measuring tools, the size of the forging is accurately measured and controlled to ensure that it meets the requirements of the design drawings.

Surface quality control: strict inspection and control of the surface quality of the forging to prevent cracks, pores, slag inclusion and other surface defects.

Mechanical properties test: The mechanical properties of forgings are tested, such as strength, toughness, plasticity, etc., to ensure that they meet the design requirements.

4. Production efficiency

Process optimization: By optimizing the production process, reduce production costs and improve production efficiency.

Equipment maintenance: Regular maintenance and maintenance of production equipment to ensure stable operation of equipment and improve production efficiency.

Personnel training: Conduct skills training for production personnel to improve their operational skills and production efficiency.

The production process of aerospace forgings is a process of precision manufacturing, which requires strict control of the quality of each link. By optimizing the production process, strengthening equipment maintenance, improving the skills of employees and other measures, the production efficiency and quality level can be improved. At the same time, strengthen quality inspection and control to ensure that the quality of forging meets the requirements, so as to provide strong support for the development of aerospace industry.
