The production process of ring forgings has important application value in the field of engineering, its process and optimization research can improve product quality, reduce cost, and promote the progress of process technology. The following are the general steps of ring forging production process and its optimization research:
- Material selection: According to the application requirements of ring forgings, select appropriate materials, including materials with good forging performance, high thermal deformation resistance and excellent mechanical properties.
- Mold design: Design a reasonable mold structure, taking into account the shape characteristics of the forging, dimensional accuracy and molding quality requirements. Die design should ensure that the forging can completely fill the die cavity to avoid defects.
- Prefabrication process: For some complex shape ring forgings, prefabrication process can be used, such as injection molding, powder metallurgy, etc., in order to improve the service life of the mold and reduce costs.
- Heat treatment process: According to the characteristics of the material and the required performance, design the appropriate heat treatment process, including annealing, normalizing, quenching, etc., to adjust the organizational structure and improve the mechanical properties of the material.
- Optimization of forming process parameters: Determine the best forming process parameters by means of process test and numerical simulation. Including forging temperature, forging speed, forging pressure and other parameters to achieve accurate control of forging shape and size.
- Defect control and quality testing: Through the comprehensive use of non-destructive testing, metallographic analysis, mechanical performance testing and other means, defect control and quality testing of forgings. Including surface oxidation, cracks, inclusions and other defects control and repair.
- Process economic evaluation: Economic evaluation is carried out on different ring forging production processes and their optimization schemes, including the comprehensive consideration of process feasibility, equipment investment and operating costs to determine the best process scheme.
Through the research and practice of the above steps, the optimization of the ring forging production process can be achieved, and the product quality and process efficiency can be improved, so as to promote the further development of the ring forging manufacturing technology.
