With the constant progress of industrial technology, the manufacturing processes of cars and ships have also been continuously improved and innovated. As one of the necessary components in making these vehicles, the demand for forged special-shaped parts has also been affected by various factors, showing a certain changing trend.
In car manufacturing, the overall structure of cars has evolved from traditional steel materials to high-strength alloy materials, and the demand for forged special-shaped parts has gradually increased. With the development of electrification and intelligence in cars, the design and manufacturing of car components have also been significantly optimized and updated, providing more opportunities for the application of forged special-shaped parts. For example, in motorcycle manufacturing, many forged special-shaped parts such as deformation arms are widely used. In the field of new energy vehicles, important applications include wheels, gears, and suspension systems.
In shipbuilding, with the rapid development of aerospace technology, ship design and manufacturing have undergone revolutionary changes. New ships increasingly focus on weight reduction and strength improvement, and the harsh marine environments impose strict requirements on the quality of steel, at which point forged special-shaped parts play an irreplaceable role. For example, large ship components such as main bearings, steering gears, and rudders all use forged special-shaped parts.
It should be noted that the current global car and ship manufacturing industries are gradually promoting resource conservation and green production methods due to environmental protection and recyclable demands. Against this background, stricter requirements have been put forward for the quality, texture, energy-saving and environmental protection aspects of forged special-shaped parts. At the same time, some new materials and new process technologies that influence the application and demand for forged special-shaped parts have also emerged in the market.
In summary, as car and ship manufacturing technology continues to progress, sales demands evolve, and green production gains footing, the permanent-use trend in forging will strengthen the car and ship making industries’ research and application of forged special-shaped parts, demonstrating a broad development prospect for the future market.
