Aluminum forging is an important part of aluminum alloy product manufacturing. In the process of production, it requires some special equipment to assist in the completion. This article will introduce the equipment needed for aluminum forging and its use.
I. Bridge Crane
Bridge crane is one of the essential equipment in the casting and processing industry, which is also indispensable in the production of aluminum forging. It is mainly used for lifting and handling heavy objects such as aluminum ingots and molds, ensuring high-efficiency and safety in the production process.
Example: A certain company’s aluminum forging workshop has four bridge cranes, each with a rated load of more than 10 tons and can lift vertically 3-5 meters.
II. Open Die Forging Press
Open die forging press is the main equipment used to press aluminum molds and form aluminum forging. It is also one of the most critical equipment in aluminum forging. It has good pressing stability and a certain degree of automation, which can effectively increase production efficiency and reduce labor costs.
Example: A certain company’s aluminum forging workshop is equipped with six open die forging presses of different models, covering a pressure range from 200 tons to 1000 tons. Each machine is equipped with a quantitative oil supply device and has an automatic maintenance function to ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment.
III. Heat Treatment Furnace
Aluminum forging is a brittle material. After heat treatment, its mechanical properties and wear resistance can be greatly improved. Therefore, in the aluminum forging process, the heat treatment furnace is also an indispensable equipment.
Example: A certain company’s aluminum forging workshop is equipped with three electric control constant temperature heat treatment furnaces, which are used for quenching and tempering of production aluminum forgings. The largest specification is a large double-door constant temperature furnace with a maximum size of φ4.5m*5m, equipped with two control systems: lifting and rotating.
The above are the main equipment needed for aluminum forging and their uses. In the actual production process, the use of these devices can significantly improve work efficiency and ensure stable output of product quality.
