With the advancement and progress of modern manufacturing technology, forged flanges will continue to develop towards higher efficiency, energy conservation, and environmental protection. In the coming years, the demand for cast flanges both domestically and internationally will gradually decrease.
Currently, some manufacturers have started exploring the use of precision forging processes in flange production. This method uses CNC machine tools and advanced mold technology to improve production efficiency and product quality while reducing wastage and pollution to the environment.
In addition, some companies have adopted fully digitalized manufacturing processes in producing flanges. This process encompasses product design, mold manufacturing, preheating, and forging, etc. which can effectively optimize the production process and improve product integrity and consistency.
Below are some practical production cases:
- Shanghai Suning Forging Factory uses CNC machines and advanced precision mold processes to produce steel flanges. While ensuring product quality, thousands of flanges can be produced every day thus maximizing production efficiency.
- Jiaozuo Jinlin Forging Co., Ltd. uses advanced digital manufacturing to produce high-temperature alloy flanges, controlling product production quality through digital designs and simulations. The entire manufacturing process is built on strong traceability.
The future for forged flange production will be developed in a more intelligent, automated, and digitized direction, with emphasis on environmental protection. Sustainable production and manufacturing developments will be realized while meeting market demands and improving user experience.
