Top 5 Common Defects from Preheating process in Hot Forgings and Prevention Solutions | Tiangong Forging - Forging Expertise
Hot forging technology plays a vital role in manufacturing mission-critical components for aerospace, automotive, and energy industries. At Tiangong Forging, we deliver premium-grade forging solutions through advanced process control and heat treatment expertise.
Critical Defect Prevention Guide:
1. Oxidation: The Silent Material Eater
- Impact: 3-8% material loss, Ra value increase by 40%
- Prevention:
√ High-speed induction heating systems
√ Furnace atmosphere control
√ Multi-zone temperature uniformity
2. Decarburization: Strength Reducer
- Risks: 15-30% surface hardness reduction
- Solution: Inert gas protective atmosphere in furnace
3. Overheating/Burning: Microstructure Destroyer
- Temperature Management:
◆ Material-specific heating curves
◆ Dual-pyrometer monitoring
◆ Non-contact thermal imaging
4. Internal Cracking: Hidden Threat
- Prevention: Gradient heating protocol for large billets
5. Uneven Heating: Forming Defect Source
- Solution: 3D thermal simulation + rotating hearth design
