What is open die forging
Open die forging is a type of die forging. Open die forging is suitable for forging simple forging parts. For example, rods, shafts, etc.
When designing the die for open die forging, the die is open. Open die forging mainly refers to the open ends of the die. When forging open die forging parts, the press will press the die, and the metal billet will flow freely in the die. Under the influence of the press, the metal billet will have a cut edge because the die is open.
Open die forging process
The open die forging process is the same as the die forging process.
1 Design the die. Design the die according to the customer’s drawings. The die is designed to be open.
2 According to the customer’s forging parts, select the appropriate bar material. The bar material can be carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, etc. Then cut the material. The open die forging metal billet is a bar material. The metal bar is cut by the blanking machine and cut into the required length.
3 Preheating: preheat the cut metal billet. The preheating temperature is generally between 800 and 1200 degrees. The purpose of preheating is to soften the metal bar material and facilitate forging.
4 Forging: forging is divided into pre-forging and final forging. The die is installed on the forging machine, and then the forging machine is used for forging. The function of the pre-forging die cavity is to deform the billet to a shape and size close to the forging. When the final forging is performed, the metal deformation is small and it is easy to fill the final forging die cavity. We have forging presses of more than 2,000 tons, which can forge various open die forging parts for customers.
5 Machining: open forging parts have burrs, which need to be trimmed, and then sandblasted to make the surface clean and neat.
6 Heat treatment: the purpose of heat treatment is to increase the hardness of open forging parts. Some open carbon steel parts have high hardness requirements and need heat treatment.
application of open die forging
1 The cost of open die forging dies is low, the die design is simple, and the die design is development-oriented. This type of die is relatively simple to make and repair.
2 Open die forging is suitable for mass production. Open die forging is suitable for forging parts that are not heavy but have great market demand.
3 Open die forging has high production efficiency. During the initial die forging process, the die is open, and the required size and shape of metal parts can be quickly formed.
4 The material utilization rate of open die forging is not high. During the forging process, due to the generation of burrs, the material utilization rate is relatively low, and part of the metal is wasted in the form of burrs.
What can an open die forging manufacturer do for customers?
Luoyang Forging has its own complete die forging system for die design, forging, and machining.
We will design and make dies for customers, simulate the forging process on the computer, and see which die is suitable for the customer’s product.
Machining We have our own machining center to process all open forged parts for customers. We can also customize open forged carbon steel parts, open forged stainless steel parts, open forged alloy steel parts, etc.
