Forging factory is a professional forgings production enterprise, through the forging and pressing machinery to exert pressure on the metal blank to produce plastic deformation in order to obtain a certain mechanical properties, a certain shape and size of the forging process, forging (forging and stamping) one of the two major components. The forging can eliminate the defects of metal in the smelting process such as loose casting, optimize the microstructure, and at the same time, because the complete metal streamline is preserved, the mechanical properties of the forgings are generally better than the castings of the same materials. Related machinery in high load, severe working conditions of the important parts, in addition to the shape of the simple available rolling plate, profile or welding parts, the use of forgings. Then the forging factory is the production of forgings.
Forging plant has a long history in China, which is continued by the production mode of manual workshop. It is probably in the early 20th century, with the invasion of imperialist powers and the westernization movement of Manqing Dynasty, it gradually appeared in the railway, armaments, shipbuilding and other industries in the form of mechanical industrialization. Chinese forging plant is developed on the basis of introducing, digesting and absorbing foreign technology. After many years of technological development and transformation, the technical level of leading enterprises in the industry, including process design, forging technology, heat treatment technology, machining technology and product testing, has greatly improved.
Forging plant is the main processing unit which provides the blank of mechanical parts in the machinery manufacturing industry. In general, most of the important mechanical parts with large force and high requirements are produced and processed by forging factories. Through forging, not only the shape of mechanical parts can be obtained, but also the internal organization of metal can be improved, and the mechanical and physical properties of metal can be improved.
