Aluminum Forging Superior Mechanical Properties
Forging is a processing method that uses forging machinery to apply
pressure to metal blanks to cause them to undergo plastic
deformation to obtain forgings with certain mechanical properties,
shapes and sizes.
One of the two major components of forging. Forging can eliminate
the looseness of the metal in the cast state and weld holes. The
mechanical properties of forgings are generally better than those
of castings of the same material. Important parts in machinery with
high loads and severe working conditions are mostly forged, except
for simpler shapes that can be rolled plates, profiles or welded
parts.
Forging can be divided into the following according to the forming
method:
① Open forging (free forging). Impact force or pressure is used to
deform the metal between the upper and lower irons (anvils) to
obtain the required forgings. There are mainly two types: manual
forging and mechanical forging.
② Closed forging. The metal blank is compressed and deformed in a
forging die with a certain shape to obtain a forging. It can be
divided into die forging, cold heading, rotary forging, extrusion,
etc. According to the deformation temperature, forging can be
divided into hot forging (processing temperature is higher than the
recrystallization temperature of the blank metal), warm forging
(lower than the recrystallization temperature) and cold forging
(normal temperature).
The materials used for forging are mainly carbon steel and alloy
steel of various compositions, followed by aluminum, magnesium,
titanium, copper, etc. and their alloys. The original state of the
material includes bars, ingots, metal powders and liquid metals.
The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the metal before
deformation to the cross-sectional area of the mold after
deformation is called the forging ratio. Correctly selecting the
forging ratio has a great relationship with improving product
quality and reducing costs.
