Forging Process for Forged Discs

Forged discs offer superior qualities compared to cast ones; the forging process—utilizing hammering or pressing—results in discs with higher strength, excellent wear resistance, and a longer service life, while eliminating issues such as internal voids, cold shuts, porosity, or shrinkage defects.

Forging Disc Manufacturing Process
(1) Billet Preparation: High-quality material is selected, and a cutting machine is used to cut out a solid, circular metal blank. The billet is heated in a furnace to a specific temperature to enhance its ductility and formability.

(2) Forging: Upsetting—a forging process that reduces the height of the blank while increasing its cross-sectional area. The heated metal blank is placed into a forging press, where pressure is applied via a hammer or press to shape it into the desired disc. This process achieves optimal mechanical properties while simultaneously compressing and refining the metal's grain structure.

(3) Heat Treatment: Following forging, the disc undergoes heat treatment to further enhance its strength and durability. The process is tailored to meet the customer's specified delivery condition; it involves heating the disc to a specific temperature followed by rapid cooling (quenching).

(4) Machining: After heat treatment, the disc is machined to meet the required specifications. This stage includes turning, milling, drilling, and other machining operations.
