Forging is an important industrial component, widely used in machinery, aviation, energy and other fields. Because the production process of forging involves many complicated process steps and influencing factors, quality control and inspection technology is of great significance in the production of forging. This paper discusses how to improve product quality and production efficiency in the forging process from the perspective of quality control and inspection technology.
First, quality control in the forging production process
Quality control in forging production mainly includes process control, quality inspection, production technology and equipment maintenance.
Flow control
The process control of forging production includes raw material procurement, mold design, molding, heat treatment and other links. In order to ensure product quality, enterprises need to establish a strict process control system, clarify the quality standards and operating norms of each link, and strengthen the coordination and communication between all links.
Quality inspection
Quality inspection is an important means to ensure the quality of forging production. Enterprises shall, according to product standards and customer requirements, develop detailed quality inspection schemes, including appearance inspection, dimensional inspection, mechanical property testing and so on. At the same time, the quality information feedback mechanism should be established to find and solve the quality problems in the production process in time.
Production technology
The production process is the key factor affecting the quality of forging. Enterprises should improve product quality and production efficiency by optimizing production process parameters and formulating production process plans. In the production process, enterprises should pay attention to the implementation of the process and adjust the process parameters in time to ensure stable product quality.
Equipment maintenance
Equipment is an important tool for forging production, and the maintenance of equipment has an important impact on product quality and production efficiency. Enterprises should establish a sound equipment maintenance system, regular inspection, maintenance, repair of production equipment, to ensure that the equipment is in good working condition, extend the service life of the equipment.
- Inspection technology in the forging production process
The inspection technology involved in forging production mainly includes appearance inspection, dimension inspection, mechanical property testing and non-destructive inspection.
Visual inspection
Appearance inspection is one of the most basic inspection techniques in forging production. Through the appearance inspection, it can be found whether there are cracks, pores, inclusions and other defects on the surface of the forging. Enterprises should be equipped with professional inspectors and advanced testing equipment to carefully inspect the appearance of forgings to ensure that products meet customer requirements.
Dimensional inspection
Dimensional inspection is an important means to ensure the dimensional accuracy of forging parts. The inspectors should accurately measure the shape, size, position and other parameters of the forgings to ensure that the product size conforms to the drawings and customer requirements. At the same time, the enterprise should regularly calibrate and maintain the testing equipment to ensure the accuracy of the size detection.
Mechanical property test
Mechanical property testing is an important means to check the inherent quality of forgings. Enterprises should be based on product standards and customer requirements, tensile, impact, hardness and other mechanical properties of the forgings test to determine whether the forgings can meet the requirements of strength, plasticity and toughness during use.
Nondestructive inspection
Nondestructive inspection is an advanced inspection technique that can detect internal defects and surface microscopic defects without damaging the product. The non-destructive inspection of forgings mainly includes ultrasonic testing, X-ray testing, magnetic particle testing and other methods. Enterprises should choose suitable non-destructive inspection methods according to product characteristics and customer requirements to improve product quality and production efficiency.
Third, the combination and application of quality control and inspection technology
In the process of forging production, quality control and inspection technology are mutually reinforcing and inseparable. Enterprises should organically combine the two together to form a complete quality control system to ensure product quality and production efficiency.
First of all, enterprises should clarify the importance of quality control and inspection technology in the forging production process. Quality control is the key factor to ensure the quality and efficiency of forging production, and inspection technology is an important means to achieve this goal. In the production process, enterprises should closely combine the two together, give play to their respective advantages, and jointly achieve the improvement of product quality and production efficiency.
Secondly, enterprises should establish a perfect quality control and inspection technology system. Through the formulation of detailed quality plans, operating specifications and inspection standards, clear quality objectives and operational requirements of each link.
