Fuel Consumption in the Production Process of Forging Enterprises

Core tips: The fuel consumption in the production process of a forging enterprise determines whether a forging enterprise is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. However, there is fuel consumption in the materials used in the forging production process. The following article mainly shares the energy consumption of various materials for shearing and preheating.

Energy consumption for shearing and preheating of raw materials:

In the forging process, for the large diameter or alloy steel raw materials, in order to improve the quality of the blank section before cutting the blank, make the blank section flat and small, and prevent cracks in the section, the raw material generally needs to be preheated. For example, the preheating temperature of low-alloy structural steel is about 350C, that is, the material is cut in the blue brittleness zone of the steel.

It can be preheated by an intermediate frequency induction heating furnace, or by gas, natural gas, or oil heating furnace. How to cut raw materials (shearing) should be analyzed technically and economically, and technical and economical comparisons should be made from material loss, energy consumption, tool life, and productivity.

U billet heating energy consumption:

In the inlay production, in order to improve the plasticity of the metal, reduce the deformation resistance, and make the blank plastic shape good, the correct heating of the metal blank and the accurate temperature measurement in time are of great significance to improve the quality of the general parts and reduce the fuel consumption. The heating of metal materials is an important process in warm forging production. Metal heating is required to ensure the temperature and quality of the heating of the billet, meet the production cycle of the forging unit, and also require low energy consumption, low cost, and environmental protection.
