What are the advantages of hot die forging?

Hot die forging process is a manufacturing technology that uses molds to form metal billets at high temperatures, and its advantages mainly include the following aspects:

High production efficiency: hot die forging process can achieve large-scale production, improve production efficiency and reduce production costs. At the same time, by adopting automated production lines and optimizing process flows, production time and costs can be further reduced.

Optimize material utilization: The hot die forging process can improve the malleability of the material by reducing the chill of the die contact billet and the work hardening of the material, so it allows the forgings to have a smaller rounded radius, a smaller draw slope and a smaller forging margin, which greatly reduces the quality of the forgings and improves the utilization rate of the material.

Improve mechanical properties and accuracy: The hot die forging process can make the metal blank plastic deformation at high temperature, so as to obtain precision forgings with excellent mechanical properties. At the same time, by using advanced die manufacturing technology and strict quality control, the accuracy and stability of forging can be further improved.

Wide range of application: hot die forging process can be used to produce various shapes of complex forgings, and forging can use a variety of different materials of metal blanks, such as steel, aluminum alloy, titanium alloy and so on. Therefore, hot die forging process has been widely used in aviation, automobile, electric power, machinery and other fields.

Lower energy consumption: Compared to traditional forging processes, the hot die forging process can be carried out at high temperatures, thus reducing energy consumption. At the same time, through the use of advanced heating technology and equipment, energy consumption and emissions can be further reduced to achieve green manufacturing.

In short, hot die forging process has high production efficiency, optimize material utilization, improve mechanical properties and accuracy, a wide range of applications, reduce energy consumption and other advantages, so it has been widely used in the manufacturing industry.
