The main application scenarios of forging machine tools
Forging machine is a specialized equipment used for metal and mechanical plastic processing, which uses external forces to cause plastic deformation of materials to change their shape, size, and properties. It is widely used in the manufacturing field that requires high-strength and high-precision metal parts. The following are the main application scenarios and specific cases of forging machine tools:
1、 Automobile manufacturing:
engine system
Connecting rod: formed through forging process to ensure high strength and lightweight, and withstand high-pressure impact from the combustion chamber.
Crankshaft: Adopting free forging or die forging technology to form a complex crankshaft structure, balancing power transmission and wear resistance.
Pistons: manufactured using cold extrusion technology to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness, suitable for high temperature and high pressure environments.
Transmission system
Gear: produced by forging or precision forging process, with high tooth profile accuracy and reduced subsequent machining allowance.
Transmission case: Stamped and formed by a large press to ensure structural strength and sealing.
Body and chassis
Cover: High speed press stamping and forming, such as car doors and engine covers, requiring a flat surface and precise dimensions.
Suspension system components, such as control arms and steering knuckles, are forged to enhance their fatigue resistance.
safety components
Seat belt buckle: manufactured with precision stamping technology to ensure reliable locking in emergency situations.
Brake discs/drums: Forging process increases material density, enhances thermal stability and wear resistance.
2、 Aerospace:
Engine components
Turbine blades: precision forging or isothermal forging process, capable of withstanding high-temperature gas impact, requiring resistance to creep and oxidation.
Combustion chamber shell: formed by multi-directional forging process, ensuring high precision and sealing of complex flow channel structure.
