Precautions for Precision Forging Mold Design and Processing

Precision forging dies are critical tools used in the precision forging process and are designed to forge metal blanks into parts of precise size and shape. Precision forging dies are widely used in the aerospace, automotive, energy and medical industries to produce a wide range of high-precision and high-performance parts. By continually optimizing the die design and manufacturing process, it is possible to increase productivity, reduce costs, and ensure part consistency and reliability.

Design and processing of precision forging molds need to pay attention to matters:
1. Material selection Selection of suitable materials for precision forging molds is critical, usually requires the use of high-strength, wear-resistant, impact-resistant materials, such as high-speed steel, tungsten steel or special alloy steel. The heat treatment state of the material will also affect the performance of the mold, so you need to select the appropriate heat treatment process according to the requirements of the fine forging process.
2. Mold design design should consider the mold geometry, dimensional accuracy and surface roughness to meet the molding requirements of the parts. Mold design should give full consideration to the flow characteristics of the material to ensure that the metal in the mold cavity can flow evenly to avoid folding, cracks and other defects. For parts with complex shapes, the design should take into account the mold parting line and mold slope, so as to facilitate the release of parts.
3. Processing accuracy precision precision forging mold processing accuracy directly affects the molding quality of the parts, so you need to use high-precision processing equipment, such as CNC machine tools (CNC) for processing. Processing should be strictly control the size and shape errors, to ensure the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the mold.
4. Heat treatment molds usually need heat treatment after processing, such as quenching, tempering, etc., to improve the hardness and wear resistance. The heat treatment process should strictly control the temperature and cooling speed to prevent the mold from deformation or cracking.
5. Die assembly and debugging die assembly should ensure that the parts of the precise fit, to avoid displacement or misalignment in the forging process. The debugging process should gradually optimize the forging parameters, such as pressure, speed and temperature, in order to achieve the best molding results.
6. Maintenance and careThe die should be cleaned and lubricated regularly during use to minimize wear and prolong service life. Any defects or damages found should be repaired or replaced in time to avoid affecting the production quality.
7. Safe operation In the process of mold design and processing, relevant safety standards and operating procedures should be observed to ensure the safety of operators.
