Application of Die Forging Hydraulic Press - Industry Trends and Best Practices

Hydraulic die forging presses, with their technological advantages such as high precision, large tonnage, strong adaptability, and intelligent control, are widely used in a variety of high-end metal forming fields, including aerospace, automotive, energy equipment, rail transportation, shipbuilding, and machinery manufacturing. They can meet the needs of mass production of complex structures, high performance, and high-precision forgings. The following are specific application scenarios and typical case studies:

1. Aerospace: Core Manufacturing Equipment for High-End Forgings

1) Forging of Large, Integral Structural Parts

- Applications: Aircraft main load-bearing frames, beams, wing roots, and other integral components must withstand extreme loads. Traditional welded structures are prone to stress concentration. However, hydraulic die forging presses enable integral forming, reducing the number of welds and improving structural strength and fatigue life.

2) High-Precision Blades and Discs

- Applications: Engine blades require precise aerodynamic shapes and high-temperature resistance. Hydraulic die forging presses achieve near-net-shape shapes, reducing subsequent machining allowances.

2. Automotive Industry: Key Support for Lightweighting and High Performance

1) Key Transmission System Components

- Applications: Axles, flanges, gears, and other components require high strength and wear resistance. Hydraulic die forging presses achieve continuous material fiber flow and improve fatigue resistance.

2) Chassis and Body Structural Parts

- Applications: Control arms, subframes, and other components require high stiffness and corrosion resistance. Hydraulic die forging presses can produce high-strength steel or aluminum alloy forgings, replacing traditional stamping and welding structures.

3. Energy Equipment: Reliable Guarantee Under Extreme Operating Conditions

1) Key Components of Nuclear Power Equipment

- Application Scenario: Pressure vessels, main pipelines, and steam generator heat transfer tubes must withstand high temperatures, high pressures, and radiation. Hydraulic die forging presses enable high-precision forming of thin-walled pipes and complex structural components.

2) Wind Power and Hydropower Equipment

- Application Scenario: Large forgings such as wind turbine main shafts and hydropower turbine runners require high strength and impact resistance. Hydraulic die forging presses enable integral forming, reducing assembly errors.

4. Rail Transit: Core Foundation for High Speed and Heavy Loads

1) Axles and Wheelsets

- Application: High-speed rail axles must withstand high-speed rotation and heavy load impact. Hydraulic die forging presses enable hollow axle forging, reducing weight while increasing strength.

2) Key Bogie Components

- Application: Frames, bolsters, and other components require high stiffness and fatigue resistance. Hydraulic die forging presses enable single-piece forming of complex cross-sections, reducing welding distortion.

5. Shipbuilding: Large and Corrosion-Resistant Solutions 1) Drive Shafts and Propeller Shafts

- Application: Large ship shafting must withstand significant torque and seawater corrosion. Hydraulic die forging presses enable integral forming of long shaft forgings, minimizing assembly errors.

2) Marine Valves and Flanges

- Application: Valves require high sealing performance and corrosion resistance. Hydraulic die forging presses enable precise flow channel shaping, minimizing leakage risks.

6. Machinery Manufacturing: Efficient Production of General-Purpose and Special-Purpose Parts

1) Hardware Tools and Standard Parts

- Applications: Tools such as wrenches, pliers, and bolts require high strength and wear resistance. Die-forging hydraulic presses enable mass production, reducing unit costs.

2) Wear-Resistant Parts for Mining Machinery

- Applications: Crusher hammers and excavator bucket teeth require high hardness and impact resistance. Die-forging hydraulic presses can form wear-resistant materials such as high-manganese steel.

7. Emerging Fields: Technological Expansion and Innovative Applications 1) 3D Printing and Die Forging Hybrid Manufacturing

- Application Scenario: Combining metal 3D printing technology, near-net-shape blanks are first printed, followed by final forging using a hydraulic die forging press, enabling the efficient production of complex structural parts.

2) Powder Metallurgy Forging

- Application Scenario: Metal powder is pressed into preforms and then die forged to produce high-density, high-performance parts (such as aircraft engine turbine discs).
