Forged Bars manufacture

The Advantages of Forging Bars

Our forged bars have free forging technology without complex molds and can quickly adjust the production process to meet the customer ‘s diverse requirements for shape and size (such as large shafts, irregular parts) ‌ can shorten your delivery cycle and reduce the cost of small batch orders. It can also reduce the waste of raw materials through plastic deformation, and the waste can be recycled. With the subsequent precision forging technology, the machining allowance can be reduced, lowering your procurement cost and meeting the requirements of environmental protection regulations.

Hot rolled Carbon Steel Round Bar 1018 1008 1045 Forged Solid Round Bars

Cost and efficiency ‌ : The surface oxide is acceptable, directly used in non-precision scenes (such as building structural parts), and the diameter range is wide (φ4mm-φ600mm), supporting mass production ‌. ‌ material uniformity ‌ : high temperature rolling reduces internal defects, uniform grain structure and stable basic mechanical properties ‌. Tensile strength (≥410 MPa) and surface hardness can be increased through the cold drawing process, suitable for precision parts

The Material of the Forged Bars

We adopt Alloy steel Stainless steel Aluminum alloy Nickel alloy ensures that the product has outstanding durability, corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, which can significantly extend the lifespan of components and reduce maintenance costs. According to your industry requirements, we can customize material solutions to achieve the best performance.

Aluminum bar

property:Aluminum alloy is lightweight and high-strength, which can significantly reduce the structural weight. It has excellent corrosion resistance, with a naturally formed dense aluminum oxide film on the surface, effectively resisting corrosion from the atmosphere, seawater and chemical media

Application field:aluminum bar stockApplication field In the aerospace field for fuselage structural components, manufacturing aircraft skin, frame, landing gear pillar and other parts, its light weight high strength can reduce flight weight and improve fuel efficiency ‌

Stainless steel bar:

Performance advantage: Stainless steel has corrosion resistance ‌ A dense chromium oxide film (passivation film) is formed on the surface, effectively resisting corrosion from air, water, acids, alkalis and salts. It has high tensile strength and can also withstand heavy loads and impacts. Not prone to oxidation or deformation in high temperature environment, prolonging equipment life ‌.

In the shipbuilding industry, 316 stainless steel round bar. 316L resistant to seawater and chemical corrosion ‌
Also FOR the petroleum industry. 316L stainless steel rods used to make storage tanks PERFORM WELL in corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, salts, ETC, significantly extend equipment life ‌

Nickel bar

In terms of performance:Nickel- alloys can still maintain excellent mechanical properties and oxidation resistance in high-temperature environments, and perform well in corrosive media. For example, Hastelloy C-276 can resist strong corrosive media such as wet chlorine and sulfuric acid. These significant advantages can meet the strict requirements for material properties in industrial manufacturing

Application field:In the oil well pipe industry, valves and pipes made by the nickel bar are resistant to strong acids, strong alkalis and salts, which help extend equipment life ‌ In the ‌ aerospace ‌ field, aero engine turbine blades, rocket engine components, etc. need to withstand high temperatures of 1100 ° C and heavy load impacts. nickel bar achieves lightweight and high-temperature stability through free forging ‌

Titanium bar

In terms of performance:The density of titanium steel and titanium alloy is only 4.5g/cm³ (approximately 57% of that of steel), but its strength is close to or exceeds that of alloy steel. The strength-to-density ratio is 1.3 times that of aluminum alloy and 3.5 times that of stainless steel. Forging processes (such as TC11 titanium rods) can refine the grain, significantly improve crack propagation resistance, and extend the service life of critical parts such as aero engine blades ‌

In AEROSPACE: titanium bar for aircraft engine turbine discs, fuselage skins, rocket engine structural parts, etc ‌. Lightweight, HEAT-resistant, fatigue-resistant, meets the extreme working conditions of supersonic vehicles and SPACECRAFT ‌
In Marine engineering ‌ titanium bars are used in deep-sea probes, ship propellers, subsea oil and gas pipelines, etc. ‌. Resistant to seawater CORROSION, non-magnetic property, suitable for high salt, high pressure deep sea environment ‌
In the field of energy equipment ‌ titanium round bar is resistant to low temperature (-253℃), radiation and acid and alkali corrosion ‌ suitable for nuclear reactor pressure vessels, LNG storage tanks, oil and gas drilling tools, etc. Youdaoplaceholder2

Forging bar Frequently Asked Questions

  • The difference between casting and forging:
    Forging: 1. Eliminate metal internal defects (such as porosity, holes) through plastic deformation, significantly improve the density and uniformity ‌
    2. Grain refinement, streamline optimization, enhance fatigue resistance, impact resistance and mechanical strength (such as wheel hub, aviation parts) ‌
    3. Can be customized high-performance parts (such as lightweight forged wheel strength more than 30% higher than casting) ‌
    Casting: easy to produce pores, inclusions, mechanical properties are relatively weak, strength, toughness lower than forgings ‌
  • Forging bar process characteristics:
    Forged bars are metal billets (such as steel ingot or rolled bar) that are subjected to plastic deformation by forging machinery, so as to obtain metal bars with high density and uniform grain structure. The process is divided into ‌ hot forging ‌ (softening metal at high temperature) and ‌ cold forging ‌ (working at room temperature or low temperature). The specific process includes ‌ heating → pre-forging → final forging → cooling → finishing ‌. The forming ‌ needs to be completed with die or free forging
  • Core application scenarios:
    Die steel bar (such as H13, SKD61) : forging eliminates carbide segregation and extends die life by 30%-60%‌
    Precision shaft (such as CNC machine tool spindle, scroll shaft) : forged bar through cold forging process can achieve dimensional tolerance of ±0.05mm, surface roughness Ra≤0.8μm, reduce the subsequent processing amount ‌
    Aerospace fasteners (titanium alloy/superalloy bar) : Tensile strength ≥1200MPa, temperature resistance to 800℃‌
    Nuclear electric pump shaft (stainless steel forging bar) : grain size up to ASTM 6-8, meet ASME Class III standards ‌
    Automotive steering knuckle (aluminum alloy forging bar) : 20% less weight than casting parts, impact strength increased by 40%‌
