 2025-02-10 | View:1141

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
