The invention relates to the field of valve body manufacturing, in particular to a valve body
forging method. The valve body
forging method saves materials and energy and reduces consumption on the condition of meeting the requirement of customers for product diversification. At first, blank forming is achieved by utilizing free
forging for executing the following steps of A, selecting round steel with the weight being 1.15-1.25 times the weight of a finished valve body, riveting the two ends of the round steel, conducting indentation
material separation, and forging the round steel into the preset size; B, enabling the two ends of the round steel to get off a table, forging eccentricity of the middle and the two ends, and forging the two ends into 260-degree octagons; C, then utilizing pressing blocks for making octagonal pressure grooves in the two ends into the preset size, and ensuring that flanges and grooves of a
green body are within the design size range. Then, final forming is achieved by adopting semi-die forging for executing the following steps of a, forging the middle octagon of the
green body in a vertical die buckling and pressing mode; b, after the middle octagon is formed, controlling the height of the flanges at the two ends through
cushion blocks and forging the flanges to be rounded; c, finally, trimming the sizes of all parts of the forged piece into the designed sizes.
