Forged parts are special components with specific shape requirement, commonly used in large mechanical equipment, petrochemical facilities, power equipment and other fields. Different types of forged parts are used for different mechanical equipment. This article will introduce several types of forged parts commonly used in large mechanical equipment.
- Shaft-type forged parts: Shaft-type forged parts are mainly used in various rotary equipment, such as hubs in wind power equipment, rotors and shafts in steam turbines. These forged parts have a bar-shaped body with specific bevels or bulges in certain local areas to meet installation requirements.
- Elbow-type forged parts: Elbow-type forged parts are mainly used in piping systems. These forged parts can be made by cold bending, hot bending and other processes, and their shapes can adapt to any curve of the piping system. For example, nuclear-grade elbows used in the thorium industry.
- Joint-type forged parts: Joint-type forged parts play an important role in mechanical equipment. For example, downpipes, drill rod clusters and lifting cylinders commonly used in oil drilling equipment. These forged parts need to have high precision and strength to ensure stability and safety of mechanical equipment during operation.
- Sleeve-type forged parts: Sleeve-type forged parts are commonly used in mining, metallurgy and other industries. For example, the copper lining of the oil cylinder in open-pit mines can be made of large-diameter and thin-walled special-shaped forgings. At the same time, in the metallurgical industry, long and twisted forged parts are often used as the throttling sleeve for insulation pipelines.
In summary, there are various types of forged parts used in large mechanical equipment for different purposes. We need to choose different materials and manufacturing processes according to the different positions of the forged parts and the different forces and pressures they bear to meet the actual needs of mechanical equipment.
