Aluminum forging

Forging is a kind of pressure of forging machinery for metal blank, make its produce plastic deformation in order to obtain certain mechanical properties, a certain shape and size of forging processing method, forging, forging and stamping) of one of the two part. By forging can eliminate the metal smelting process of as-cast loose defects, such as optimizing the microstructure, at the same time because of the intact metal flow, forging generally better than that of the same material on the mechanical properties of the castings.

Characteristics of aluminum alloy forgings.

1. The density is small, only 34% of steel forging and 30% of copper forging.

2. Compared with the strength, larger than steel, larger than elastic modulus, high fatigue strength, it is suitable to be used for the key stress components with high requirements, and its comprehensive performance is far superior to other materials.

3. The internal tissue is fine, uniform and free of defects, and its reliability is much higher than that of aluminum alloy castings and die castings, and also higher than other metal castings.

4. The plastic of aluminium alloy is good, can be machined into the high precision forging of various shape complex, the machining allowance of the part is small, only be the 20% of use of aluminium alloy plate material.

5. Aluminum alloy forgings have good corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity and non-magnetic properties, which are incomparable with steel forgings.

6. Smooth surface, good surface treatment, beautiful and durable.

A series of excellent properties of aluminum alloy forgings have created good conditions for replacing steel and copper.
