For aircraft manufacturing, the quality assurance of aircraft forgings is very important because it directly affects aircraft performance and safety. Here we will use an actual production case to illustrate how to ensure the quality of aircraft forgings.
Taking a certain aviation company as an example, the company adopted multiple measures to ensure the quality of forgings in the production process. Firstly, the company strictly adhered to aviation material standards when selecting forging materials and conducted complete inspections and tests on the materials to ensure they meet the required technical specifications. Secondly, in forging processes, the company used top-notch equipment and advanced technology to precisely control parameters such as temperature, pressure, and time to effectively control the quality of the forgings. In addition, the company used multiple inspection methods in finished product inspection such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle inspection, hardness testing, and dimensional measurement, to ensure that the forgings don’t have any internal defects or surface cracks, while also meeting product drawing requirements.
In actual production, the company also implemented a series of management regulations to control the quality of forgings. For example, a strict division of responsibilities was implemented to ensure that each process is controlled by a corresponding specialist, and to avoid problems occurring at any stage. Additionally, in order to maintain material quality, the company established sound purchasing management procedures, which promptly provides feedback and handling for any unqualified products found during purchasing.
These measures have achieved significant results in actual production. The company successfully manufactured various specifications of aircraft forgings, which were widely used in different types of aircraft. The performance and safety of these forgings were well-regarded, earning high praise from customers.
Overall, the quality assurance of aircraft forgings needs to be controlled from multiple aspects such as raw materials, processes, and quality management. Only with comprehensive and standardized management can we ensure the quality and safety of forgings, making them reliable components in aerospace manufacturing.
