Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of hot forging equipment, specifically relating to a mold heating and heat preservation device and a hot forging press device for hot forging. Background Technology
[0002] Hot forging of aluminum alloys generally refers to a precision forging method in which heated aluminum alloy billets are plastically shaped into forgings of the required shape and size using upper and lower dies. However, it differs from isothermal forging, with the biggest difference being that the forging press does not have heating capabilities and cannot guarantee a constant die temperature during the forging process. Nevertheless, hot forging also requires strict control over the die temperature during the forging process. If the die temperature is too low during forging, the temperature in the area where the billet contacts the die will drop rapidly, resulting in uneven temperature distribution inside and outside the billet, uneven deformation, and ultimately, inconsistent product dimensions and performance.
[0003] Currently, the main heating method for aluminum alloy forging dies involves placing electric heating elements on the lower die. Due to the inconvenience of installation and maintenance, heating devices are rarely installed on the upper die. Generally, the die is preheated before production and then assembled onto the press. However, heating cannot continue during assembly and subsequent forging processes. Existing methods can only guarantee the initial die temperature. As the die is exposed to air for extended periods, the inability to maintain continuous heating during operation leads to a drop in die temperature, affecting the quality of the forgings.
