Blank forging: The key step to creating the perfect tooth shape

Tooth forging is an important step in forging gear, and it is the key link to ensure the precision and quality of gear. In this article, we will explore how to improve the performance and life of gears by creating the perfect tooth profile.

First, the importance of tooth forging

Tooth forging is an important part of gear manufacturing, its quality directly affects the precision, strength and life of gear. In the forging process, the tooth blank forging needs to go through multiple processes, such as heating, forging, cooling, etc. The parameters and operations of these processes will affect the quality of the tooth blank forging. Therefore, to create the perfect tooth shape needs to start from many aspects to ensure the quality of the tooth blank forging.

Two, the key steps to create a perfect tooth shape

Reasonable selection of materials

The choice of material is one of the keys to creating the perfect tooth shape. For different application scenarios and working conditions, different materials need to be selected to meet the performance requirements of the gear. For example, for gears with high strength and high wear resistance, materials such as alloy steel or stainless steel can be selected; For gears that require corrosion resistance, materials such as corrosion resistant steel or stainless steel can be selected.

Accurate mold design

Mold design is one of the keys to create a perfect tooth shape. Mold design needs to take into account the characteristics of the material, forging process and tooling equipment and other factors. At the same time, it is also necessary to design a reasonable mold cavity shape and size according to the specifications and uses of the gear to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the tooth shape.

Precise forging process

Forging process is one of the key links to create perfect tooth shape. In the forging process, it is necessary to control the heating temperature, forging speed, hammering force and other parameters to ensure the internal quality and surface quality of the tooth blank forging. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose the appropriate lubricant and cooling method according to the characteristics of the material and the mold to ensure the accuracy and quality of the tooth forging.

Precise cooling process

The cooling process is also one of the key links to create the perfect tooth shape. In the cooling process, it is necessary to control the cooling speed and cooling time to avoid cracks, deformation and other problems. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose the appropriate cooling method and cooling medium according to the characteristics of the material and the mold to ensure the accuracy and quality of the tooth blank forging.

Creating the perfect tooth profile is one of the key links to improve the performance and life of the gear. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to start from many aspects such as material selection, die design, forging process and cooling process to ensure the quality and accuracy of tooth blank forgings. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen production management and quality testing, and constantly improve production efficiency and product quality levels. Only in this way can we provide more high-quality and reliable tooth forging products for high-end equipment manufacturing.
