Forgings are a common metalworking method used to produce high-strength and high-precision metal parts. Forging manufacturers usually use the following production processes: Hammer forging: This is a traditional forging process, the use of a hammer or a large impact equipment to hammer the metal material, so that it is affected by the impact to form the desired shape. Pressure forging: This process uses a press or hydraulic press to place the metal material in the mold and apply high pressure, which causes the metal to undergo plastic deformation under the action of the mold to form the desired shape. Friction stir welding: This is a forgings process that does not require heating, in which two metal surfaces are plastically deformed and joined together by a rotating tool that exerts friction and stirring forces on the contact surface. Cold extrusion: This is a process used to make hollow metal parts by pushing the metal material into the cavity mold to extrude it into the desired shape. Powder metallurgy: This process uses a mixture of metal powder and binder to form forgings through steps such as press forming and sintering. Hot forging: This process applies pressure in a heated metal material, causing it to undergo plastic deformation at high temperatures and form the desired shape. The above are some common forging production processes, different processes are suitable for different materials and shape requirements. The specific process chosen depends on factors such as the design requirements of the part, material properties, and production efficiency.
