Melting Metal Forging

2024.11.07

Melting metal forging mainly includes two stages: smelting and forging induction furnace price.

There are many types of furnaces, such as cupolas for cast iron smelting, and electric arc furnaces are often used for smelting steel. During the heating process, the temperature needs to be precisely controlled.


Different metals have different melting points. For example, the melting point of iron is about 1538℃ and the melting point of aluminum is about 660℃. At the same time, the atmosphere in the furnace must also be considered. Some metals require a reducing atmosphere to prevent oxidation.



The forging stage is carried out after the metal is melted and cast to form a billet. Forging can improve the internal structure and properties of the metal. Pressure is applied by using forging equipment such as forging hammers and hydraulic presses. Taking the forging gear as an example, the billet undergoes plastic deformation under pressure, so that the metal fiber structure is distributed along the contour, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the gear how to melt aluminum.



The forging process is divided into free forging and die forging. Free forging has high flexibility and is suitable for single-piece small batch production; die forging has high production efficiency and is suitable for products with complex shapes and large batches.



Molten metal forging is a metallurgical process in which metal is heated to a molten state and then shaped using pressure or other mechanical forces. Forging is commonly used in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing to create strong and durable parts. The main steps of forging are as follows:


  1. Metal selection: Selecting the appropriate metal alloy based on the properties required for the final product (such as strength, corrosion resistance, and conductivity).

  2. Melting: Heating the metal in a furnace until it is liquid. Different metals require different melting temperatures (such as aluminum is about 660°C and steel is about 1370°C).

  3. Preparing the mold: Making a mold, usually made of sand, metal, or ceramic, to form the shape of the final product.

  4. Pouring: Carefully pouring molten metal into the mold. It must be done in a controlled environment to avoid contamination and oxidation.

  5. Forging: The metal, which is kept at a workable temperature after solidification, is placed in a forging machine, which uses high pressure or impact (hammer or press) to shape the metal.

  6. Cooling and finishing: After the metal is forged into the desired shape, it is cooled. Other processes such as heat treatment, machining and surface finishing can be used to improve performance and size.

Compared with casting, the advantage of forging is that the grain structure of the metal can be adjusted, the strength can be improved, and thus parts with excellent mechanical properties can be produced.
