As an important part of power system, the production quality and efficiency of electric power tool forgings directly affect the safe and stable operation of power system. With the continuous development of science and technology and the intensification of market competition, the traditional production process has been unable to meet the production needs of modern electric power metalworking. Therefore, this paper aims to explore the innovation and practice of the production process of electric power tool forgings, in order to improve product quality and production efficiency, reduce production costs, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
Target determination process
Forging and heat treatment are two key links in the production process of electric tool forgings. Forging determines the shape and size of the product, while heat treatment affects the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the product. Therefore, we identified the target process as forging and heat treatment two links.
Put forward innovative plans
For forging and heat treatment two links, we put forward the following innovative solutions:
(1) Forging link: The use of precision forging technology, through the control of forging temperature, speed and deformation degree and other parameters, to achieve high-precision product forming, reduce the margin of subsequent machining, improve material utilization.
(2) Heat treatment: The use of induction heating technology, by controlling the heating temperature, time and cooling speed and other parameters, to achieve rapid and uniform heating and cooling of the product, improve the mechanical properties of the material, improve the strength and toughness of the product.
Evaluate innovative solutions
We evaluated the proposed innovations and analyzed the possible risks and benefits. The evaluation results show that the use of precision forging and induction heating technology can improve product quality and production efficiency, reduce production costs, and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises. However, the application of new technologies requires more equipment and human resources, and there are certain technical risks. Therefore, adequate technical preparation and personnel training are required before the implementation of innovative programs.
We selected an electric power fittings forgings manufacturer as a practical case to apply and practice the innovative process. The company adopts precision forging and induction heating technology in the forging and heat treatment two links, and carries out relevant training and technical preparation for production personnel.
Productivity comparison before and after innovation
After adopting the innovative process, the production efficiency of the enterprise has been significantly improved. The original need for multiple processes to complete the product, now only need a forging and a heat treatment can be completed, greatly shortening the production cycle. At the same time, due to the use of precision forging technology, the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the product have also been significantly improved, reducing the margin and time of subsequent machining.
Product quality comparison before and after innovation
After adopting the innovative process, the product quality of the enterprise has been significantly improved. Due to the use of precision forging and induction heating technology, the shape, size and mechanical properties of the product are better controlled, reducing the defect rate and unqualified rate of the product. At the same time, due to the reduction of machining allowance, the surface quality of the product has also been significantly improved.
Comparison of production costs before and after innovation
After adopting the innovative process, the production cost of the enterprise has been significantly reduced. Due to the use of precision forging technology, the utilization rate of materials has been improved, and the waste and cost of materials have been reduced. At the same time, due to the reduction of machining allowance and time, the cost of machining has also been reduced. Although the investment of new technology requires a certain cost and time, in the long run, the adoption of innovative processes can reduce production costs and enhance the competitiveness of enterprises.
