Steps to Manufacture a Forging Prototype

01

Understanding Customer Requirements

Review Drawings and Specifications: Examine customer-provided drawings and specifications for details like material type, dimensions, and tolerances.

Material Specifications: Confirm the required material, such as carbon steel, alloy steel, or stainless steel.

02

Designing and Creating Dies

Die Design: Create forging dies, trimming dies, and flattening dies based on the drawings.

Die Manufacturing: Use high-quality materials to manufacture the dies.

03

Cutting and Heating the Billet

Billet Preparation: Cut steel billets to the required length and ensure quality.

Heating: Heat billets in a furnace to the appropriate forging temperature.

04

The Forging Process

Forging: Use dies to press heated billets into shape.

Trimming: Remove excess material to meet dimensions and tolerances.

05

Heat Treatment

Heat Treatment: Perform processes like normalizing, quenching, and tempering to enhance properties.

06

Finishing Processes

Shot Blasting: Clean parts to improve surface finish.

Machining: Perform machining for precise dimensions if necessary.
