What is the process flow of aircraft forging?
The process flow of aircraft forgings usually includes the following steps: Steel selection: First, high-quality steel suitable for forging needs to be selected. Select the appropriate steel material according to the performance requirements of the required parts and the use environment. Steel heating: The selected steel is heated to a certain temperature so that it has enough plasticity and is easy to deform during forging. Forging molding: Deformation is carried out by placing the heated steel on the forging die and applying pressure. With forging, the original blank can be formed into the desired shape and size through controlled deformation. Heat treatment: Heat treatment of forgings to improve their material properties. Common heat treatment methods include tempering, normalizing, quenching, etc., which can improve the hardness, strength and corrosion resistance of forgings. Machining: Mechanical processing of forgings, such as milling, turning, hole machining, etc., to obtain the final shape and size. Testing and inspection: Through non-destructive testing (such as ultrasonic testing, magnetic particle testing, etc.) and destructive testing (such as tensile test, impact test, etc.), the quality of the forging is tested and evaluated to ensure that it meets the design requirements. Surface treatment: According to the specific requirements, it may be necessary to perform surface treatment on the forgings, such as painting, coating, anti-corrosion treatment, etc., to improve the durability and appearance quality of the forgings. Final assembly: The forging is assembled with other components to form a complete aircraft assembly or system. It is important to note that the process flow of aircraft forgings may vary depending on the requirements of specific components and the process standards of different airlines. The above is only an overview of the general process, and the actual operation needs to be adjusted and optimized according to the specific situation.
