GUEST Forging — general characteristics Forging is a rough part that is as close as possible to the final product in terms of shape and size. Forging, as a process, serves to reduce the time and energy spent on processing. The more accurate the forging, the less investment of funds and effort. Properties of forging: · Plasticity; · High strength; · Reliability of the product. For the production of forgings, steel is used, as a rule, stainless steel, tool steel and structural steel. Alloy steel with various elements is used depending on the required properties. Forgings can have a variety of shapes. Depending on the section, the following are distinguished: 1. Forgings from square blanks; Rectangular forgings; Round forgings. The technological process of obtaining a forging consists of the following operations: 1. Rolled piece into dimensional blanks, Heating, Stamping, Trimming of the coating and punching of films, Editing, Thermal treatment, Cleaning of forgings from scale, Calibration, Control of finished forgings.
