Description

Technical Field

[0002] The design of aero-engine bidirectional deep cavity die forgings is complex, and forging is very difficult, with many forging defects. In order to ensure machining allowance, the cavity depth is minimized during forging design, thereby increasing the weight of the raw materials, resulting in low raw material utilization. At the same time, excessive metal material flows unevenly during the forming process, which can easily cause serious local flash, insufficient local filling, increased punching pressure and other problems, resulting in large amounts of forging grinding, high scrap rates and equipment overload. At the same time, excessive machining protection allowances will lead to increased machining production costs. Summary of the Invention

Preforged piece 4 is then removed from the high-temperature gas furnace and transported to a 3000T press. The transfer time is controlled within 30 seconds. Preforged piece 4 is placed in the fifth tooling. The guide barrel helps to stabilize the upper die 1, and the hydraulic press applies pressure forging to form the preforged piece. The operation is completed within 180 seconds, resulting in preforged piece 5.

[0091] S7, Final Die Forging: Pre-forged piece 5 is heated to 1120°C in a high-temperature gas furnace and held at this temperature for 3 hours. Pre-forged piece 5 is then removed from the high-temperature gas furnace and transported to a 3000T press. The transfer time is controlled within 30 seconds. Pre-forged piece 5 is placed in the sixth tooling. The guide barrel helps to stabilize the upper die 2. The hydraulic press applies pressure forging and forms the part within 180 seconds to obtain the final forging. Multiple passes of internal flanging are performed in the fifth and sixth tools to convert radial material into axial material, achieving the final forming of the deep-cavity die forging.
