Aluminum alloy forging is a kind of metal parts with the advantages of high strength and light weight, which is widely used in aerospace, automobile and other fields. The manufacturing process of aluminum alloy forgings involves a number of process links, and its manufacturing process will be described in detail below.
First, material preparation
The material required for the manufacture of aluminum alloy forgings is aluminum alloy blank. The quality of blank has a great influence on the quality of aluminum alloy forgings. First of all, it is necessary to select the appropriate aluminum alloy material and ensure its quality through testing. Then the aluminum alloy blank is cut and deburring to obtain the blank material that meets the requirements.
Two, heating and forging
The aluminum alloy blank is preheated and soaking hot in the heating furnace to ensure the smooth forging process. Then the heated aluminum alloy blank is placed in the forging press for forging. When forging aluminum alloy, special forging equipment and dies need to be used. According to the design drawing, the heated aluminum alloy blank is placed in the mold, and the appropriate pressure and temperature are applied to make it plastic deformation, and the desired shape of aluminum alloy forging is finally obtained.
Third, quenching and tempering treatment
After forging, the aluminum alloy forgings need to be quenched and tempered to enhance their material strength. Quenching is the heating of aluminum alloy forgings to a certain temperature, and quickly put it into the coolant, so that it is cooled quickly, so as to obtain high hardness. After quenching, the aluminum alloy forgings are tempered to make the material hardness moderate and suitable for conventional applications.
Fourth, surface treatment
After quenching and tempering, the surface of aluminum alloy forgings will produce color changes, oxide and other substances, which will affect the appearance and corrosion resistance. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary to carry out surface treatment of aluminum alloy forgings, such as mechanical polishing, pickling, electrophoretic painting, anodizing and so on.
Through the above four steps, the aluminum alloy forging manufacturing process can be fully realized. Different types and requirements of aluminum alloy forgings, the manufacturing process may be slightly different, but generally still follow the same principle, that is, first prepare the material, then heating, forging, then quenching and tempering treatment, and finally surface treatment, the formation of high-quality aluminum alloy forgings.
