With the continuous progress of science and technology, non-traditional manufacturing technology has been widely used in the field of metal forging. These technologies, including laser cutting, 3D printing, spraying, etc., have brought revolutionary changes to the production of metal forgings. This paper will deeply discuss the application of these technologies in the manufacturing of metal forgings, and explain their advantages and potential.
Non-traditional manufacturing technology
Laser cutting
Laser cutting is a technique that uses a high energy laser beam to illuminate a metal surface and make it melt or vaporize rapidly. The technology has the advantages of high cutting precision, fast processing speed and good cutting quality, and is suitable for cutting various metal materials. In the manufacturing of metal forgings, laser cutting technology can achieve high-precision cutting of complex contours, improve product quality and production efficiency.
3D printing
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that builds solid objects by stacking materials layer by layer, based on three-dimensional models. 3D printing technology has the advantages of short manufacturing cycle, no need for special molds, and can manufacture complex structures, which provides a new solution for the production of hardware forgings. Especially for hardware forgings with complex shapes and small batch production, 3D printing technology can greatly reduce production costs and shorten the manufacturing cycle.
Spraying technology
Spraying technology is a technology in which raw materials are sprayed onto the surface of a target object to form a coating with specific shapes and properties. In the manufacture of metal forgings, spraying technology can improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and aesthetics of products. For example, spraying wear-resistant coatings can enhance the wear resistance of hardware forgings and extend their service life.
The prospect of non-traditional manufacturing technology for metal forgings
With the continuous development of technology, the application of non-traditional manufacturing technology in the field of metal forging will be more and more extensive. These technologies will be combined with traditional manufacturing techniques to form a more efficient and intelligent production model. In the future, the manufacturing of metal forgings will pay more attention to environmental protection, energy saving and efficiency, and provide strong support for sustainable development. At the same time, non-traditional manufacturing technology will also promote the innovation and development of the hardware forgings industry and inject new vitality into the industry.
The application of non-traditional manufacturing technology for metal forgings has brought great changes and opportunities to the industry. These technologies not only improve production efficiency and product quality, but also reduce production costs and energy consumption. In the future, non-traditional manufacturing technologies will play a more important role in the field of hardware forgings manufacturing, providing strong support for the sustainable development and innovation of the industry.
