Basic knowledge of heat treatment in forging plant

The basic knowledge of heat treatment process of forgings factory is that the metal forgings are heated to an appropriate temperature in a certain medium, and after being kept at this temperature for a certain time, a process of cooling at different speeds is used. The purpose of heat treatment process of forgings factory is to change the internal structure of forgings to improve the properties of steel. Through proper heat treatment, the mechanical properties of forgings can be significantly improved and the service life of forgings can be prolonged. Proper heat treatment process can eliminate all kinds of defects caused by forging process, refine grain, eliminate segregation, reduce internal stress, make the structure and performance of forgings more uniform metal heat treatment is one of the important processes in forging plant production.

The heat treatment of forgings factory generally does not change the shape and overall chemical composition of forgings, but by changing the internal microstructure of forgings, or changing the chemical composition of the surface of forgings, improve the performance of forgings. It is characterized by improved internal quality of forgings, which is generally not visible to the naked eye. In order to make the forgings have the required mechanical properties, physical properties and chemical properties, in addition to reasonable selection of materials and various forming processes, heat treatment process is often essential. Metal is widely used in mechanical industry. The microstructure of iron and steel is complex and can be controlled by heat treatment.

Through the application of heat treatment, forgings factory can change the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of forgings to obtain different performance. Heat treatment process can not only strengthen the forgings but also fully tap the potential of material performance, reduce the weight of the structure, save materials and energy, and can improve the quality of mechanical products, greatly extend the service life of machine parts, do a top several or even more than a dozen.
