Craftsmanship Introduction
CNC Forging
• CNC Forging Hot Swaging: A process where metal billets are heated above the recrystallization temperature (typically ≥800°C) and subjected to axial pressure via CNC-controlled dies, inducing plastic deformation by leveraging high temperatures to reduce metal deformation resistance.
• CNC Cold Forging: A process performed at room temperature where CNC-controlled dies apply pressure to metal billets. This cold plastic deformation forming technique requires no heating, relying instead on the metal's inherent plasticity at ambient temperatures.
• Advantages of hot forging: Low forming resistance, capability to process large-section/complex structural components, excellent material plasticity with low susceptibility to cracking, and ability to eliminate internal defects in billets (such as porosity and gas holes).
• Advantages of cold forging: tight dimensional tolerances (±0.01–0.05 mm), low surface roughness (Ra ≤ 1.6 μm), high material utilization (≥95%), rapid production efficiency (suitable for mass production), and minimal or no subsequent machining required.
