Aircraft forgings are high-quality and high-strength parts that play a vital role in the operation of aircraft. The forging process directly determines its performance and quality. In this article, we will take the turbine disc produced by Chengdu Engine Co., Ltd. of Aviation Industry Corporation of China as an example to illustrate the impact of the forging process on aircraft forging performance.
Firstly, the turbine disc is one of the key power transmission components in aircraft, and its quality and performance must be strictly controlled. Through years of practical experience, the company has summarized a complete production process, which ensures that the disc can meet the strict requirements of strength, hardness, and fatigue life when it rotates at high speed.
In the forging process, material selection, pre-processing and forging process directly affect the performance of the disc. For example, the company uses high-quality groove steel, which has good ductility and toughness, so that the disc can work in high temperature and high pressure environments and can withstand large impact loads. Pre-processing is related to the shape and size of the material, and the shape of the material must reduce surface or internal defects while ensuring the geometric dimension accuracy of the disc.
In the forging process, temperature and forging pressure are the key factors that determine the quality of the forging. The company uses an advanced hydraulic forging technology. By adjusting the forging temperature and pressure reasonably, the company can produce high-quality discs with complex shapes, high accuracy, and smooth and flawless surfaces. Finally, after processing, inspection and other processes, the high-quality and high-performance disc is guaranteed.
In conclusion, the influence of the forging process on aircraft forging performance is significant. Only by selecting materials scientifically, fine pre-processing, advanced forging technology, and strict inspection control can high-quality and high-standard forgings be produced.
