Analysis of Internal Stress in Forging Cooling Process
Forging is one of the fundamental processes in modern manufacturing, and the cooling stage is often overlooked despite being a critical factor in determining product quality. After forging, the hot steel billet must be cooled from high temperature to room temperature. Although this appears to be a simple physical process, it actually involves complex mechanical transformations. Improper cooling methods may generate excessive internal stress, leading to cracks or white spot defects. In severe cases,...
