With the continuous improvement of environmental protection awareness, environmental protection materials are more and more widely used in various fields. As a part of the traditional manufacturing industry, the production of metal tools and forgings is also facing the pressure of environmental protection. This paper will introduce the application of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tool forgings, and discuss its advantages, disadvantages and development trends.
Metal tool forging production refers to the process of processing metal blanks into various tools through forging process. In the production of traditional metal tools and forgings, due to the use of a large amount of fossil energy and unreasonable production process, a large amount of waste gas, waste water and waste residue will be produced, causing serious pollution to the environment. Therefore, how to reduce the environmental pollution in the production of metal tools forgings has become an urgent problem for the manufacturing industry.
With the continuous improvement of environmental awareness, more and more researchers began to pay attention to the application of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tools and forgings. Environmental protection materials have the advantages of sustainability, recyclability and low pollution, which can effectively reduce environmental pollution in the production process of metal tools and forgings. For example, some researchers use lightweight materials instead of traditional steel materials, reducing energy consumption and emissions. At the same time, some researchers have also explored the use of scrap metal and renewable resources to prepare environmentally friendly materials, further reducing environmental pollution.
Although the application of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tools forgings has many advantages, there are still some shortcomings. First of all, the research and development and production costs of environmentally friendly materials are relatively high, and they are not competitive compared with traditional materials. Secondly, the mechanical properties and weather resistance of some environmentally friendly materials can not meet the requirements of hardware tools, and further improvement is needed. In addition, there are still many challenges about the large-scale application and industrial development of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tools and forgings.
Looking forward to the future, with the strengthening of environmental protection policies and the continuous progress of technology, the application of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tools and forgings has broad prospects. On the one hand, the government and society will have higher and higher requirements for environmental protection, the drawbacks of traditional materials will become more prominent, and the demand for environmental protection materials will continue to increase; On the other hand, the continuous innovation and progress of technology will provide more possibilities for the development and application of environmentally friendly materials. For example, new biodegradable materials and environmentally friendly materials such as low carbon steel will play an important role in the future production of metal tool forgings. In addition, with the deepening of the concept of circular economy, the reuse and recycling of waste hardware tools will become the development trend of the industry, which provides a broader market and application space for the application of environmentally friendly materials.
In short, the application of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tools and forgings has important practical significance and broad prospects for development. Although there are still some problems and challenges in the application of environmental protection materials, with the continuous progress of technology and the improvement of social environmental awareness, the application of environmental protection materials in the production of metal tools and forgings will be more and more extensive. In the future, we need to further strengthen the research and development and application of environmental protection materials to promote the sustainable development of metal tool forging production and achieve a win-win situation of economic benefits and environmental protection. At the same time, the government, enterprises and scientific research institutions should participate together, increase the promotion and support of environmental protection materials, and promote the implementation of environmental protection materials in the industrialization development of hardware tools and forgings.
