The additive manufacturing technology of copper forgings in construction machinery refers to a manufacturing method that gradually forms three-dimensional parts by processing materials layer by layer. In the manufacturing of copper forgings, the traditional forging process needs to go through heating, forging and cutting steps, which is time-consuming and costly. Additive manufacturing technology can directly stack the material layer by layer and control it precisely to realize the manufacture of complex copper forgings.
With the continuous development of 3D printing technology, the application prospect of additive manufacturing technology for copper forgings is broad. Specifically, additive manufacturing technology can provide manufacturing methods with greater design freedom, enabling more complex internal structure and cavity design, and significantly reducing waste materials and energy consumption in the manufacturing process. In addition, additive manufacturing technology can also be combined and adjusted to specific needs to provide optimized performance and functionality. Compared with traditional processes, additive manufacturing technology can reduce material loss and reduce environmental pollution, and has better sustainability.
In the field of construction machinery, copper forgings are widely used, including excavators, loaders, forklifts, bulldozers and other key components of equipment, through additive manufacturing technology can achieve higher precision, more complex shape of copper forgings manufacturing, improve product performance and service life. In addition, additive manufacturing technology can also enable rapid sample manufacturing, save development cycles and costs, and provide a more efficient and flexible production method for the construction machinery industry.
It should be noted that copper, as a difficult material to process, may have some technical problems in the additive manufacturing process, such as thermal cracking, residual stress and other problems. Therefore, in practical applications, it is necessary to comprehensively consider material characteristics, process parameters and other factors, and carry out sufficient process optimization and control to ensure the stability and reliability of additive manufacturing technology in copper forging manufacturing.
