Related technologies of castings and forgings mainly include the following aspects:
Casting process
Casting process is a casting method that uses raw sand with certain properties as the main molding material. It includes casting process, casting system, shrinkage compensation system, vent, chilling system, special casting process and other contents. The casting process design includes the design of casting process drawings, casting drawings, casting assembly drawings and the production of process cards.
Manufacturing technology
In the manufacturing process, castings and forgings are often used in machine tool manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding, power stations, weapons industry, steel manufacturing and other fields. Its manufacturing process includes ingot casting after smelting, forging or re-melting and pouring, and obtaining the required shape, size and technical requirements through high-frequency heating machine to meet the needs of its service conditions.
Quality control and inspection
In terms of quality control, the quality control of castings and forgings includes the inspection of raw materials, monitoring during the production process and inspection of finished products. Commonly used inspection methods include X-ray inspection, ultrasonic inspection, magnetic particle inspection, etc. to ensure that there are no defects inside the castings and forgings and meet the design requirements.
Application fields and development trends
Castings and forgings are widely used in many fields, such as aerospace, shipbuilding, electricity, medical and health care, and automobiles. With the increasing demand for global energy conservation, emission reduction, and green development, lightweight parts in various industries have become an inevitable trend. Aluminum alloy castings perform well in lightweighting, with the characteristics of thin walls, complex structures, near-net shape, no defects, and uniform body performance. They are widely used in high-quality castings such as frames, boxes, and shells.
