Hot die forging is a plastic deformation process of metal under high temperature and high pressure. Safety is particularly important because of the high temperature, high pressure and mechanical equipment involved in the operation. In order to ensure the safety of hot die forging operations, this article will provide a comprehensive safety guide and precautions.
Safety guidelines for hot die forging operations
Training qualified operators: hot die forging process requires operators to have professional skills and safety awareness. All operators should receive the necessary training to understand the equipment structure, process flow and hazard sources, and master the correct operation methods.
Wear personal protective equipment: Operators must wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including fire-resistant clothing, high-temperature gloves, goggles, ear plugs, etc., to prevent burns, scalds, and other accidental injuries.
Ensure that the equipment is in good condition: Before operation, check whether the hot die forging equipment is in good condition, including the heating furnace, press, mold, etc., to ensure its normal operation and safety performance.
Precautions for hot die forging operation
Strict control of heating temperature: heating temperature is a key parameter of hot die forging, too high or too low temperature may cause safety accidents. Operators should strictly control the heating temperature to avoid dangerous situations such as over-burning of materials and over-temperature of equipment.
Standard operating deformation rate: Deformation rate has an important effect on the safety and stability of the hot die forging process. The operator should reasonably control the deformation rate according to the process requirements to avoid the risk of accidents caused by too fast or too slow.
Pay attention to mold safety and lubrication: The safety and lubrication of molds are essential to the operation of hot die forging. The wear and crack of the mold should be checked regularly, and the damaged mold should be replaced in time. At the same time, ensure a good lubrication system, reduce friction and wear, reduce the probability of accidents.
Emergency stop and troubleshooting: In the process of hot die forging, if there is an abnormal situation or fault, the operator should immediately stop the emergency and eliminate the fault in time. For problems that cannot be solved, professional maintenance personnel should be contacted in time to deal with them, and do not disassemble or repair them privately.
Keep the workplace clean: Hot die forging processes involve high temperatures and metal debris, which can easily cause fire or slip accidents. Operators should keep the workplace clean at all times, clean up metal debris and debris, and ensure that the passage is unimpeded.
Comply with safety rules and regulations: enterprises should establish perfect safety rules and regulations to clarify the safety norms and prohibited behaviors of hot die forging operations. The operator shall strictly abide by the safety rules and regulations and shall not operate in violation of regulations or change the process parameters without authorization.
As a high temperature and high pressure metal processing technology, hot die forging must keep safety first in the operation process. Through the safety guidelines and precautions provided in this paper, it is hoped that the safety awareness of hot die forging operators can be enhanced to ensure the safe and smooth process. At the same time, enterprises should strengthen the training and safety management of operators, and constantly improve the safety system to provide a strong guarantee for hot die forging operations.
