Forging characteristics and definitions


Release time:

Dec 12,2023

Forging presses are used to press metal blanks to produce plastic deformation, thereby obtaining forgings with certain mechanical properties, shapes and dimensions. One of the two main components of forging. The mechanical properties of forgings are generally better than castings of the same material, and the metal pores in the casting and weld holes are eliminated by forging energy. In addition to simple rolled plates, profiles or welds, most of the important parts with heavy load and poor working conditions in machinery are forgings.

Compared with castings, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the metal after forging are improved. Due to the deformation and recrystallization of the metal, the original coarse dendrites and columnar crystals are transformed into equiaxed recrystallization tissues with fine grains and uniform sizes, so that the original segregation, pores, looseness and slag inclusions in the ingot are compacted and welded, and the organization becomes more compact, improving the plasticity and mechanical properties of the metal.
