Precision forging refers to the forming technology that meets the dimensional accuracy requirements of parts after little or no processing after forging. There are two main ways to achieve precision forging: refined blanks, that is, directly forging blanks that meet the requirements of precision machining. Precision forging, the whole or some parts of parts are directly processed by precision forging process, so as to reduce the amount of machining. There are many precision forging processes currently used in production. According to different forming temperatures, it can be divided into hot precision forging, cold precision forging, warm precision forging, compound precision forging, etc.
- Hot precision forging process
Hot precision forging refers to the precision forging process of forging above the recrystallization temperature. Because the deformation temperature is high, the deformation resistance of the material during forging is low, and the plasticity is good, so it is easy to form parts with complex geometric shapes. - Cold precision forging process
Cold precision forging process is a precision forging technology for forging at room temperature. Due to the room temperature forming, the size error caused by thermal expansion and contraction is avoided, so the shape and size of the workpiece of cold precision forging are easier to control, and at the same time, the surface of the forging does not produce oxidation and burning damage, etc. Forging and warm precision forging
Manufacturing precision is lower than cold precision forging. . - Warm precision forging process
Warm forging is a precision forging technique that heats metals to a suitable temperature below the recrystallization temperature. It also has the advantages of hot forging and cold forging to avoid their defects, effectively reduce the load of equipment and mold, improve the plasticity and fluidity of the metal, without forging annealing. - Composite precision forging process
Composite precision forging technology combines cold, warm and hot forging technology to complete a workpiece forging technology. It can exert the advantages of cold, warm and hot forging and avoid the disadvantages of cold, warm and hot forging. At the same time, the mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the parts produced by the composite precision forging process are improved compared to the parts produced by the single forging technology. At present, the commonly used compound precision forging processes mainly include warm forging-cold finishing, hot forging-cold forging, warm extrusion-cold pendulum rolling, warm hot forging-cold extrusion, hot fine forging-cold pendulum rolling, etc.
