A GUIDE TO FORGING PARTS

Forging, one of the most venerable and timeless metalworking techniques, remains a pinnacle of craftsmanship and effectiveness even in the modern age. At its essence, forging is the artful process of shaping raw metal while it remains solid, never allowing the material to succumb to melting. This technique involves skillful manipulation through hammering, rolling, or pressing. Despite the myriad variations of forging, each offering distinct benefits, they commonly share the principle of elevating the workpiece to intense temperatures to aid in the artistic shaping process.

In the world of metalworking, forging stands tall as the superior technique, revered for its unparalleled physical properties and remarkable tensile strength, all at a cost-effective price. These exceptional attributes arise primarily from the transformation of the metal's grain structure. By maintaining a solid state and enduring percussive or compressive forces, the metal's grain aligns with the contours of the intended product. This results in components that possess unmatched strength, outshining those created through machining or casting.

CMC Forge extends these incredible benefits to industries far and wide, offering an extensive range of expert forging services tailored to meet diverse application needs.

THE FORGING PROCESS

Within the expansive domain of forging, a variety of subtypes exist, leading to variations in the steps involved. Yet, the majority of procedures adhere to a foundational sequence.

• A pivotal element of forging is the use of dies to meticulously compress and shape metal. It is crucial to determine the most effective set of tools to attain the desired shape. Often, designing custom dies becomes essential to ensure the final product perfectly aligns with expectations. For extensive production runs, this step might involve crafting multiple dies for specific functions like flattening, forming, or cutting.
• With planning and the intricate crafting of tools completed, the actual artistry of metalworking can commence. Initially, the billet or workpiece must be precisely cut to the desired size. Following this, it undergoes heating to achieve the optimal temperature, preparing the billet for the transformation process.
• At this juncture, the distinct forging methods unfold their individuality. Depending on the selected process, the billet might be heated and pressed between two dies or inserted into a carefully molded cavity and then compressed. Alternatively, the operator may opt for cold forging, working the billet at room temperature with manual precision using hammers.
• Concluding the process, certain finishing procedures may be required. For example, some dies may produce excess material, known as flashing, which must be meticulously trimmed to perfection.

COLD FORGING VS HOT FORGING

 

There are two predominant forging methods that reign supreme in the metal forming industry - hot forging and cold forging. Although these two processes might seem similar at first glance, they each offer distinct advantages and suit different applications.

Hot forging involves subjecting metal to soaring temperatures that exceed its recrystallization point, often reaching up to a fiery 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit. This intense heat significantly reduces the energy needed to shape the metal precisely, thanks to the decrease in yield strength and enhanced ductility. Additionally, hot forging excels in eliminating chemical inconsistencies, providing a superior quality finish.

Cold forging, in contrast, typically takes place at ambient room temperature, though any temperature beneath the recrystallization threshold is applicable. Certain metals, particularly high-carbon steels, present a formidable challenge for cold forging due to their inherent strength. However, cold forging shines with unrivaled standards of dimensional precision, product uniformity, immaculate surface finish, and minimal contamination. A versatile array of techniques, including bending, extruding, cold drawing, and cold heading, fall under the cold forging umbrella. Nonetheless, this versatility demands robust equipment and potentially necessitates intermediate annealing steps.



ADVANTAGES
 

• Preserve the natural grain flow of the metal to optimize structural integrity.
• Ensure the inherent strength of the metal is retained throughout the process.
• Achieve a flawless finish by eliminating defects, inclusions, and porosity.
• Enjoying relatively low production costs, making it an economical choice.
• Benefit from high production output, meeting demanding manufacturing needs efficiently.

What Is Hot Forging?

Hot forging involves heating metal beyond its recrystallization temperature, which reduces the flow stress and energy needed to shape the material, thereby accelerating the production rate. This process enhances metal malleability, making it easier to shape while minimizing the risk of fractures.

Iron and its alloys are predominantly hot forged for two compelling reasons: Firstly, as work hardening advances, hard materials such as steel and iron become increasingly challenging to manipulate. Secondly, hot forging followed by heat treatment processes is more cost-effective, as it allows steel to be strengthened through subsequent processing methods rather than relying solely on cold working.

Typical hot forging temperatures span different materials: Aluminum (Al) Alloys require 360°C (680°F) to 520°C (968°F); Copper (Cu) Alloys need 700°C (1,292°F) to 800°C (1,472°F); and Steel can be forged at temperatures up to 1,150°C (2,102°F).

 

 

 

How are Hot Forgings Made?

In hot forging, metals are heated beyond their recrystallization point to prevent strain hardening. This involves heating the metal and possibly the mold, which facilitates the metal's easy movement and allows for the creation of more intricate shapes than cold forging can achieve.

For superalloys with limited malleability, isothermal forging in a controlled atmosphere is employed to prevent oxidation. This process, also known as hot forging, maintains the workpiece at optimal temperatures throughout, ensuring superior thermal processing.

The temperature is maintained by heating the mold to a comparable temperature as the workpiece. The mold's force shapes the workpiece, and since both are heated, cooling between mold interfaces is minimized, enhancing the metal's flow properties.
