aluminium forging parts
The advantages of aluminum alloy forgings are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Lightweight: The density of aluminum alloy is only about one-third of that of steel, which gives aluminum alloy forgings a significant advantage in reducing weight and is suitable for applications that require weight reduction.
High strength and excellent mechanical properties: Aluminum alloy forgings have the characteristics of high strength, high specific stiffness, excellent elastic modulus and fatigue strength, and are particularly suitable for the manufacturing of key load-bearing components.
Good processing performance: The forging process of aluminum alloy can significantly improve the internal structure of the material and enhance its mechanical properties. By forging, the grain size can be refined, the overall mechanical properties uniformity of the material can be improved, and defects in the ingot can be welded together, thereby enhancing the quality of the billet inspection.
Wide application areas: Aluminum alloy forgings are widely used in various fields such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, electronic communication, etc. For example, aircraft structural components have fully adopted aluminum alloy die forgings, and key components such as car wheels and bumpers also widely use aluminum alloy die forgings.
Cost effectiveness: The production cost of aluminum alloy forgings is relatively low, and their application in the thermal management system of new energy vehicles can significantly improve cost efficiency.
The process flow mainly includes the following steps:
Mold design and production, raw material preparation, forging blanks, heat treatment, stamping and trimming, CNC machining, vibration grinding, and surface treatment
1. Specifically, before forging, it is necessary to carry out cutting and heating processes. Cutting is to prepare the original blank according to the specifications and dimensions required for forging, and if necessary, rust removal, surface defect removal, oxidation prevention, lubrication and other treatments need to be carried out; Heating refers to heating the original blank according to the temperature and production cycle required for forging deformation
2. The forging deformation process is carried out on various forging equipment, including basic processes such as upsetting, elongation, punching, cutting, bending, twisting, displacement, and forging. Hot forging is usually used to ensure the plasticity and deformation ability of the material
3. After forging deformation, processes such as cooling, edge cutting and punching, correction, and surface cleaning are required. Sometimes, post forging cooling is closely combined with heat treatment to obtain specific forging microstructure and properties.
in the machine parts manufacturing process, we will forging the Al parts to save material and reduce the machining allowance,also forming by the tooling can easy to getting some curve feature,
and we can provide the precision CNC machining such as cnc lathe, cnc milling, multi-axis milling,etc.
the material can be: 7075,6061,5052,etc
surface treatment: painting, powder coating, anodize,
