The production technology of hydropower forgings

As an important industrial component, hydropower forgings are widely used in hydroelectric power generation, nuclear power, metallurgy and other fields. Its production process includes many links, this paper will introduce the production process of hydropower forgings in detail, including its components and production flow.

1. Components

Hydropower forging mainly consists of the following parts:

Materials: The material of hydropower forgings is usually low-alloy structural steel, which has high strength and good toughness, and can meet the working environment of high load and high temperature.

Structure: The structure of hydropower forgings is usually designed in axisymmetric fashion to achieve uniform distribution of water flow and maximize utilization of water resources.

Process: The process of hydropower forging mainly includes forging, heat treatment, machining and other links, each link has an important impact on product quality.

Second, the production process

The production process of hydropower forgings includes the following links:

Preparation: Before production, raw materials need to be prepared, including cutting, cleaning and other links to ensure the quality and availability of materials.

Heating: The raw material is heated to a certain temperature so that it has sufficient plasticity and deformation capacity.

Forming: The heated material is forged, bent, stretched and other operations to form the desired shape and size.

Cooling: The workpiece after forming is cooled to avoid hardening cracks and deformation.

Inspection: Quality inspection of the workpiece, including size, appearance, mechanical properties and other aspects of the test to ensure that product quality meets the requirements.

Heat treatment: Heat treatment of the workpiece to adjust its mechanical properties and hardness, improve its wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Machining: The workpiece is machined to achieve the desired accuracy and surface roughness.

Assembly: The finished workpiece is assembled to form a complete hydropower forging.

Commissioning: Commissioning the assembled hydropower forgings to ensure their normal operation and service life.

Three, the key process

The key processes of hydropower forging mainly include forging, bending, stretching and other links, which have an important impact on the quality and performance of the product.

Forging: Through forging, the crystal structure inside the material can be rearranged to improve the strength and toughness of the material. In the production of hydropower forgings, the control of forging links is very important for the shape, size and quality of products.

Bending: The bending link can cause plastic deformation of the material, changing the shape and size of the material. In the production of hydroelectricity forgings, the bending link has strict requirements on the bending Angle, accuracy and the prevention of cracks.

Stretching: The stretching link can cause the material to stretch in a certain direction, changing the length and size of the material. In the production of hydropower forgings, the control of the stretching link has strict requirements for the stretching length, accuracy and deformation prevention of the product.

4. Precautions

In the production process of hydropower forgings, the following points need to be noted:

Safety issues: There are risk factors such as high temperature and heavy equipment in the production process of hydropower forgings, so it is necessary to strengthen safety protection measures to ensure the safety of the production process.

Quality control: In order to ensure that the product quality and performance of hydropower forgings meet the requirements, strict quality control needs to be carried out in the production process, including the quality control of raw materials, the supervision of the production process, the inspection of the finished product and so on.

Technology update: With the continuous development of science and technology, new technologies and equipment continue to emerge, in order to improve production efficiency and product quality, it is necessary to follow up the replacement of new technologies and equipment in a timely manner.
