Hot die forging process and equipment introduction

The production process and equipment of hot die forging are described as follows:

The production process of hot die forging can be divided into the following steps:

Preparation: Pre-treatment of metal materials, including cleaning, removal of oxide layer, etc. At the same time, prepare tools and equipment such as molds, heating equipment and cooling equipment.

Heating: The metal material is placed in the heating equipment to heat it to a certain temperature. Different metal materials require different heating temperatures.

Preforging: The metal material is deformed in the mold, but the deformation is not large, and the shape and size of the forging can be roughly determined.

Final forging: On the basis of pre-forging, the metal material continues to be deformed and processed, so that it fully meets the shape and size requirements of the forging.

Trimming: The forging is removed from the die and trimmed to remove excess metal material.

Calibration or finishing: The forging is calibrated or finished to further improve its surface quality and accuracy. The main equipment of hot die forging includes heating equipment and forging equipment. Heating equipment is used to heat metal materials to the appropriate temperature, generally using resistance furnaces or gas furnaces. Forging equipment is used for plastic deformation of metal materials, including mechanical presses, hydraulic presses, hammers and so on. Die is a very important tool in hot die forging, which can control the deformation process of metal materials and ensure the shape and dimensional accuracy of forgings.

In the actual production process, different manufacturers can choose the appropriate equipment and process according to the specific product needs and production scale. For example, when producing complex parts in smaller batches, you can choose to use a small hydraulic press or mechanical press for production; In the production of larger quantities of simple parts, you can choose to use a large hydraulic press or mechanical press for production. At the same time, in order to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, manufacturers can also consider the use of automated production lines and robots and other advanced production methods.
