Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to metal blanks to produce plastic deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, certain shapes and sizes. Forging (forging and stamping) is one of the two major components.

Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply pressure to metal blanks to produce plastic deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties, certain shapes and sizes. Forging (forging and stamping) is one of the two major components.

Forging can eliminate the defects such as loose casting in the smelting process and optimize the microstructure. At the same time, due to the preservation of the complete metal flow line, the mechanical properties of forgings are generally better than castings of the same material. Related machinery in high load, severe working conditions of important parts, in addition to the shape of a relatively simple available rolling plates, profiles or weldments, the use of forgings.

According to the forming mechanism, forging can be divided into free forging, die forging, grinding ring, special forging.

Features of free forging:

Improve the organizational structure and mechanical properties. Through forging, the coarse grain structure inside the metal is broken: pores, shrinkage holes, cracks and other defects are pressed together to improve the density, the fiber flow line of the metal is reasonably distributed on the forging section, and the mechanical properties of the metal are improved.

Low cost and reasonable economy. Good versatility of forging equipment and tools, short production preparation cycle, easy to replace products.

Flexible process, strong adaptability.

Low dimensional accuracy of forgings.

Free forging is mainly used in the production of single-piece small batch, shape is not too complex, dimensional accuracy requirements are not high forgings and some large forgings.
