Forging knowledge
Aluminum forging type
Free Forging
The pressure is directly applied by a forging hammer or hydraulic press to allow the metal material to deform freely outside the die, which is suitable for most forgings with complex shapes.
Die Forging
The metal material is placed in the mold and the metal is formed in the mold through external force. It is suitable for forgings with high precision requirements and simpler shapes.
Ring Forging
Specially used for producing ring-shaped products, manufactured by a combination of rolling and forging, commonly used in the aviation, automotive and petroleum industries.
Cold Forging
Forging is carried out at room temperature or slightly above room temperature. It is suitable for the manufacture of small-sized, high-precision parts and is mainly used to improve the mechanical properties of parts.
Hot Forging
Forging at high temperature can greatly improve the deformation capacity of metal materials. It is suitable for the production of large-size forgings and is commonly seen in the production of structural parts and tools.
Precision forging (drop hammer forging)
Forging is performed by applying precise pressure through a drop hammer or hydraulic press, which is suitable for high-precision, small-batch production of aluminum alloy forgings.
How to choose between free forging and die forging
- Part shape and complexity: Free forging is suitable for simple parts, while die forging is suitable for complex parts.
- Production batch: Free forging is suitable for small batches, and die forging is suitable for large batch production.
- Dimensional accuracy: Free forging has lower accuracy, while die forging has higher accuracy.
- Cost: Free forging has low initial investment, while die forging is suitable for long-term large-scale production with lower cost.
- Material utilization rate: The material utilization rate of free forging is high, while the material utilization rate of die forging is low.
Forging and Casting
Forging: Through the plastic deformation of metal, it has high strength and good mechanical properties. It is suitable for parts with high strength, fatigue resistance, and impact resistance, and has high dimensional accuracy. It is suitable for aerospace, automobile, military and other fields, but compared with casting, forging has a longer production cycle and higher cost.
Casting: Suitable for the production of complex shapes and large-sized parts, and can achieve large-scale production, but the strength and surface quality of castings are usually lower than forgings. Casting costs are lower and it is suitable for large-scale production and parts with complex shapes, such as large engine housings, pipes, molds, etc.
Selection suggestion: If there are high requirements for strength, durability and precision, forging process should be selected. If the parts are complex in shape, large in size and require low-cost, large-scale production, casting is a more appropriate choice.
| Characteristic | Forging | Casting |
| Process principle | Heating the metal and applying external force to deform it plastically to obtain the desired shape | The metal is melted and poured into a mold and then cooled to form |
| strength | High strength, because the metal's grain structure is refined by plastic deformation | Low, there may be defects such as pores and cracks during the casting process |
| Mechanical properties | Superior, especially in fatigue resistance and impact resistance | Generally, it depends on the casting process and material selection |
| Surface quality | Generally good, but the surface needs further treatment to meet higher requirements | There may be surface defects such as sand holes and pores |
| Dimensional accuracy | High, capable of achieving high dimensional accuracy and consistency | Generally, the accuracy is poor and secondary processing is required |
| Production efficiency | Suitable for mass production, but the production cycle for each part is long | Suitable for complex shapes and mass production, but more time-consuming |
| Material utilization | Higher, almost no metal waste | Low, waste may be generated during casting |
| cost | Higher, especially in small batch production, the cost is higher | Low, suitable for mass production and can save costs |
| Application Areas | High-strength parts (such as aviation, automotive parts, tools, etc.) | Suitable for complex shapes and large parts (such as pipes, engine casings, etc.) |
| Adaptability | Suitable for parts with high strength requirements and regular shapes | Suitable for parts with complex shapes and large sizes |
| Defect Rate | Fewer defects unless process control is inadequate | There are many defects, such as pores and cracks, which may affect the quality |
| Post-processing requirements | Heat treatment or machining may be required to achieve final results | Requires a lot of post-processing, such as removing sand holes, polishing, etc. |
| Production cycle | Longer, especially for complex parts requiring more processing time | Shorter, suitable for rapid mass production |
