Precision forgings are widely used in the aerospace field. The main characteristic of precision forging is that it can ensure the high strength, high reliability, and high precision of components, while minimizing weight and improving the overall performance of aircraft or engines. The following will provide detailed explanations based on national policies and actual production cases.
National policies:
In 2016, “Made in China 2025” proposed to promote advanced manufacturing technologies such as high-strength and high-toughness, ultra-high-precision forging, and support the development of aerospace, high-speed trains, and other fields. At the same time, the “13th Five-Year Plan for National Health and Family Planning” also clearly stated to promote precision forging technology in medical equipment production.
Actual production:
- CASC (China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation): CASC widely uses precision forging technology in rocket, satellite, and other aerospace product production. For example, components such as the thrust chamber wall of launch vehicle engines, missile propellant boost pumps, satellite remote control valves, liquid oxygen-liquid hydrogen rocket engine combustion chambers, etc., all use precision forging technology. The application of precision forging technology in the aerospace field can not only improve product quality and service life but also effectively reduce manufacturing costs, achieving both economic benefits and social benefits.
- Shenyang Aircraft Industry Group: The Su-35 fighter jet is a new type of fighter jet produced by Shenyang Aircraft. The excellent overall performance of the aircraft mainly relies on various high-end manufacturing technologies. Precision forging technology is an important part of the manufacturing of Su-35 fighter jet engines. By using precision forging technology, the weight of the engine can be greatly reduced while ensuring its high strength, high reliability, and other characteristics, making important contributions to the overall performance improvement of the aircraft.
Conclusion:
From the perspective of national policies and actual production, the application prospects and significant economic benefits of precision forging technology in the aerospace field are substantial. In the future, with the continuous development and progress of science and technology, precision forging technology will continue to be improved and promoted, and more new products and applications will emerge.
