Hydropower forging is an important part of hydropower equipment, its quality and performance directly affect the operation efficiency and safety of hydropower equipment. In order to improve the production quality and efficiency of hydropower forgings, it is necessary to optimize the processing process. This paper will introduce the machining process and optimization strategy in the production of hydropower forgings from two aspects.
The processing process of hydropower forgings mainly includes the following links:
Selection of raw materials: The selection of raw materials with stable quality and excellent performance is the premise of ensuring the quality of hydropower forgings. When selecting raw materials, it is necessary to consider the chemical composition, mechanical properties, wear resistance and other factors of the material.
Cutting: Cutting raw materials into billets of desired shape and size according to drawing requirements. Factors such as material utilization and cutting accuracy need to be considered in the blanking process.
Forging: The blank is heated to the appropriate temperature, and it is plastic deformed by forging equipment to obtain the desired shape and size. Factors such as deformation resistance, forging temperature and forging speed should be considered in the forging process.
Heat treatment: The forged blank is heat treated to improve its mechanical properties and wear resistance. In the process of heat treatment, it is necessary to consider the law of material phase transition, heat treatment temperature, holding time and other factors.
Machining: The blank after heat treatment is machined to meet the size and shape accuracy required by the drawing. In machining process, it is necessary to consider the selection of tools, optimization of cutting parameters, cooling effect and other factors.
Quality inspection: Quality inspection of the completed hydropower forgings to ensure that they meet drawing requirements and quality standards. In the process of quality inspection, factors such as detection means and detection accuracy should be considered.

Optimization method based on intelligent technology: intelligent technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning is used to optimize the processing process. For example, a neural network model can be established to predict and optimize the parameters in the processing process to improve production efficiency and product quality.
Multidisciplinary collaborative optimization method: the knowledge and methods of multiple disciplines are integrated to comprehensively optimize the processing process. For example, the knowledge and methods of multiple disciplines such as material science, mechanical manufacturing, and computer science can be integrated to comprehensively optimize the processing process and improve production efficiency and product quality.

Improve processing quality: By optimizing cutting parameters, improving heat treatment process and other measures, processing defects can be reduced and product quality can be improved. For example, the use of advanced heat treatment technology and equipment can reduce defects such as heat treatment deformation and cracking, and improve the mechanical properties and wear resistance of products.
Reduce energy consumption: By optimizing the forging process, improving the cooling system and other measures, you can reduce the energy consumption in the production process. For example, the use of advanced forging technology and equipment can reduce energy consumption and material waste in the forging process, and reduce production costs.
Improve production efficiency: By optimizing production processes, improving processing equipment and other measures, production efficiency can be improved. For example, the use of advanced automated production lines and robot technology can realize the automation and intelligence of the production process and improve production efficiency and quality.
Reduce labor costs: Labor costs can be reduced by optimizing production processes and improving processing equipment. For example, the use of advanced automated production lines and robotics can reduce manual participation and labor costs, improve production efficiency and quality.
