The innovative driving force of aviation forgings is crucial to the development of the aerospace industry. The following are the drivers of innovation in several aspects: Material innovation: The performance of aviation forgings is directly affected by the characteristics of the material. Therefore, the development of new high-strength, lightweight materials and alloys with excellent durability and fatigue resistance has become key. Through the research and development of advanced materials, such as superalloys, titanium alloys, composite materials, etc., the strength, stiffness and durability of aviation forgings can be improved, while reducing the weight of aircraft structures, and improving the overall performance and efficiency. Manufacturing process innovation: Manufacturing process is the key to achieving high performance of aviation forgings. The traditional forging process has been widely used, but there are some limitations. Therefore, by introducing advanced manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, precision forging, jet forming, etc., more precise shape and tissue control can be achieved, improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. Digital design and simulation: The development of digital design and simulation technology has provided important support for the innovation of aviation forgings. With the help of advanced computer aided design and analysis tools, structural optimization design, simulation analysis and fatigue life prediction can be carried out to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the design. Intelligent and self-sensing technology: With the continuous improvement of the intelligence of avionics equipment, aviation forgings can also achieve self-sensing and self-diagnosis capabilities by integrating sensors, monitoring systems and other technologies. In this way, the use status of forgings can be monitored and evaluated in real time, potential problems can be found early and corresponding measures can be taken to improve the reliability and safety of forgings. Cooperation and cross-field innovation: The innovation drivers of aviation forgings also require cooperation and cross-field exchanges between industry, academia and government departments. By sharing resources and knowledge, strengthening cooperative research and development, to promote the innovative development of aviation forgings. At the same time, it is necessary to actively respond to the development needs of the global aerospace industry, participate in international cooperation and standard formulation, and make greater contributions to the aerospace industry. In summary, material innovation, manufacturing process innovation, digital design and simulation, intelligent and self-sensing technology, as well as cooperation and cross-domain innovation are the driving forces for the development of aviation forgings innovation. Through the continuous pursuit of innovation and technological progress, aerospace forgings will be able to meet the needs of the aerospace industry for high performance, reliability and safety, and promote the continued development of the industry.
