In forging, heating the metal blank is a critical step. During this process, oxidation and decarburization are common and significant phenomena that can affect the quality of forgings and pose challenges for subsequent operations. Understanding the mechanisms, influencing factors, and prevention methods for oxidation and decarburization is crucial to improving the quality of forgings. Oxidation in Forging Heating Oxidation occurs when the surface of the forging reacts with oxidizing gases...

Forged copper alloys are a group of metal materials based on copper, with enhanced mechanical properties achieved by adding elements such as aluminum, zinc, and tin. These alloys combine excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance, and high strength, making them ideal for manufacturing components that require both load-bearing capacity and resistance to corrosion. Based on their alloy composition and usage, forged copper alloys can be broadly classified into two categories:...

The heating process is a crucial stage in the production of forgings, directly influencing their quality and performance. Improper heating can lead to various defects that not only affect the structure and strength of the forgings but may also have serious consequences for subsequent processing and the final product's performance. Based on the causes of these defects, they can be categorized as follows. Defects Caused by Medium Influence The medium affects the blank primarily through changes...
