Before forging starts, stainless steel is cleaned to remove impurities.
It’s shaped into a 'billet', a basic form that sets the stage for precision forging.
Advantages of Precision Forged Components
1.Reduced Material Wastage - Near-net-shape components mean less post-forging material removal.
2.Superior Surface Finish - Precision forging results in smoother components.
3.Consistent Microstructure - A uniform microstructure in the metal thanks to controlled techniques.
Challenges in Precision Forging
1.Ensuring Material Integrity - High temperatures and pressures can introduce imperfections. Quality control is crucial.
2.Overcoming Complex Geometries - Aerospace parts have intricate designs. Crafting them accurately requires skill and advanced tooling.
3.Maintaining Tight Tolerances - The margin for error is tiny. Precision is paramount.
4.Cost Implications - Precision forging minimizes wastage but requires a high initial investment.
