The advantages of the forging process mainly include:
Improving material properties: Forging eliminates defects such as casting porosity created during metal melting and optimises the microstructure of the part. The mechanical properties of forgings are usually more reliable than those of castings of the same material because the full metal flow is retained.
Improving internal organisation: Forging can refine the coarse grains and achieve dense metal organisation, improving the mechanical properties of forgings. At the same time, plastic deformation and recrystallisation of the metal can refine the coarse grains to obtain dense metal organisation.
Improving impact strength: In the design of parts, the impact resistance of forgings can be improved by correctly selecting the direction of the force and the direction of the fibre tissue of the parts.
Suitable for important parts: related machinery in the high load, poor working conditions of important parts, in addition to the shape of the more easily available rolled sheet, profile or welded parts, generally more forgings.
In summary, the forging process has obvious advantages in material properties, internal organisation, impact resistance and applicability of parts.
