Hot Forging

Product Name :: Hot Forging

Model No :: pan-taiwan-024

Description

Hot forging is defined as working a metal above its recrystallization temperature.

The main advantage of hot forging is that as the metal is deformed the strain-hardening effects are negated by the recrystallization process.

The advantages of hot forging are:

Decrease in yield strength, therefore it is easier to work and takes less energy (force)
Increase in ductility
Elevated temperatures increase diffusion which can remove or reduce chemical inhomogeneities
Pores may reduce in size or close completely during deformation
In steel, the weak, ductile, FCC (face-centered-cubic) austenite is deformed instead of the strong BCC (body-centered-cubic) ferrite at lower temperatures

The disadvantages of

hot forging

are:

Undesirable reactions between the metal and the surrounding atmosphere
Less precise tolerances due to thermal contraction and warping from uneven cooling
Grain structure may vary throughout the metal for various reasons
