Hydropower forging is an important part of hydropower equipment, its quality and performance directly affect the operation efficiency and safety of hydropower equipment. In the production process of hydropower forgings, surface roughness is an important quality index, which not only affects the appearance quality of the product, but also may affect the performance and life of the product. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the surface roughness optimization and control method of hydropower forging production. This paper will introduce the surface roughness optimization and control methods in the production of hydropower forgings from the aspects of influencing factors, optimization methods and control technologies.
Influencing factors of surface roughness
In the process of hydroelectricity forging, the factors that affect the surface roughness mainly include raw materials, forging process, die and so on. The composition and structure of raw materials have an important effect on the surface roughness. The heating temperature, deformation speed, deformation degree and other factors in the forging process will also affect the surface roughness. The surface quality, hardness, wear resistance and other factors of the mold also have an important impact on the surface roughness.
Optimization method of surface roughness
In order to optimize the surface roughness of hydropower forgings, the following methods can be taken:
Selection of high-quality raw materials: The selection of high-quality raw materials with uniform composition and organizational structure can reduce the impact of raw materials on the surface roughness.
Optimization of forging process: by adjusting the heating temperature, deformation speed, deformation degree and other process parameters, can reduce the surface of the workpiece surface defects such as skin and cracks, reduce the surface roughness.
Selection of high-quality mold: The selection of good surface quality, high hardness, wear resistance of the mold, can reduce the wear and scratch of the mold on the workpiece surface, reduce the surface roughness.
Using surface treatment technology: The use of polishing, shot blasting, electrochemical polishing and other surface treatment technology, can further improve the surface quality of the workpiece, reduce the surface roughness.
In order to control the surface roughness of hydropower forgings, the following techniques can be adopted:
Using online monitoring technology: Using online monitoring technology of surface roughness, you can monitor the surface roughness of the workpiece in real time, and find and solve surface quality problems in time.
The use of statistical process control technology: the use of statistical process control technology can be statistical and analysis of the data in the production process, find the problems in the production process and take timely measures to solve them.
Establish a quality management system: Establish a strict quality management system, quality control and supervision of all aspects of the production process, to ensure that products meet relevant standards and customer requirements.
Strengthen staff training and technical exchanges: strengthen staff training and technical exchanges, improve staff’s understanding of and attention to surface roughness, improve staff skills and quality, and reduce the impact of human factors on surface roughness.
Taking the production of hydropower forgings of a hydroelectric power station as an example, the enterprise found that there is a high roughness on the surface of the workpiece in the production process, which affects the appearance quality and performance of the product. Through the analysis and optimization of the production process, it is found that the main factors affecting the surface roughness are raw materials and forging technology. In response to these problems, enterprises have adopted measures such as selecting high-quality raw materials and optimizing forging process, which effectively reduce the surface roughness. At the same time, the company has strengthened staff training and technical exchanges, and improved the understanding and attention of employees to surface roughness. In the end, the product quality of the enterprise has been greatly improved, and won the trust of customers and market reputation.
The surface roughness optimization and control of hydropower forging production is an important means to improve product quality and production efficiency. By analyzing and optimizing the influencing factors of surface roughness, the optimal allocation and utilization of resources can be realized, and the quality and performance of products can be improved. In the future, with the continuous development of science and technology and the intensification of market competition, the surface roughness optimization and control of hydropower forging production will become an important development direction of the manufacturing industry. Therefore, enterprises need to continuously strengthen technological innovation and equipment update, adopt more environmentally friendly and advanced manufacturing processes and equipment to improve resource utilization efficiency and reduce environmental pollution; At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the construction of corporate management and social responsibility to lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises and social contributions. Only in this way can the green manufacturing and sustainable development of hydropower forging production be achieved to contribute to the long-term development of enterprises and the sustainable development of society.
