How to distinguish the forging parts and casting parts accurately

Answer:

Distinguish from performance:The processing performance of forged parts is higher than that of the same material. The forging parts are compact and have good mechanical properties, but the casting parts may have sand holes, holes, shrinkage holes and other defects, and their mechanical properties are inferior to those of forgings. At the same time, forging processing can ensure the continuity of the metal fibrous tissue, fibrous tissue to forging and forging shape consistency, metal streamline integrity, can ensure the parts with mechanical properties and long service life good.
Distinguishing between forging and casting can be done from the following points:From the principle of distinguishingForging processing of machining by hammer or press and other equipment for forging parts produced in hot state, casting processing of metals into liquid, pouring into the cavity with a specific shape, produced by machining parts after cooling solidification. Simply say that forging is the metal soft pinch molding, and casting the metal into thin cooling solidification.
To distinguish from the use of materialsForging materials are mainly made of carbon steel and alloy steel of various components, followed by aluminum, magnesium, titanium, copper and their alloys. The original state of the material is rod, ingot, metal powder and liquid metal. The materials needed for casting are mostly metal, wood, fuel, molding materials and so on. In contrast, the forging parts rarely produce dust, harmful gas and noise, etc., and play a more obvious role in environmental protection. Of course, because of this, the price of forged parts on the market is higher than that of castings.
Distinguish from scopeShanghai Zhejiang forest auto parts experts pointed out that the forging process can eliminate cast loose, metal welding holes, so an important part of high load working conditions, severe machinery, in addition to relatively simple shapes can be rolled plates, profiles or welded parts, the forging process. Because of its low cost and good economy, casting parts processing is widely applied and belongs to the basic process of modern machine building industry.
