Forging is an important mechanical part that is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, metallurgical, and other fields. In the forging manufacturing industry, both design and quality are critical factors. In this article, we will further explore whether forging factories focus on design or quality in the market from the aspects of market demand, market feedback, and application cases.
Market demand According to market research, for forging, the most demanding users are not so concerned about the appearance design of the forging but rather focused on material, mechanical properties, and service life indexes. This indicates that quality is more important than design in forging manufacturing industry. According to data, the global forging market size has exceeded 48 billion US dollars, and 85% of the market demand comes from industrial and aerospace fields, which shows that reliability and performance are more critical for forging.
Market feedback From the aspect of market feedback, forging manufacturers should satisfy market demand through excellent design and high-quality products. For example, when performing tasks related to sealing, forgings need to have very high pressure and temperature stability to avoid forging damage. At the same time, applying materials to production stage and continuous performance test are essential to ensure success. This indicates that design and quality are equally important in the market feedback of forging.
Application cases In real-world market applications, both forging design and product quality play important roles. For example, an international aviation company used aluminum alloy forgings instead of traditional titanium alloy components to reduce aircraft weight, improve fuel efficiency. They used digital design and simulation validation throughout the process to ensure that the forging meets safety and performance standards, achieving a win-win situation for both design and quality. In the automotive manufacturing industry, some car manufacturers will establish cooperative relationships with forging factories to achieve independent innovation and develop new forging parts, such as some control arms, to achieve better performance and superior quality.
In conclusion, forging factories not only need excellent design capabilities but also need excellent product quality, and reasonable choices should be made based on different market demands and market feedback.
