Custom Aluminum Alloy Forging
Aluminum Forging Company's Process
Closed Die Drop Forging
Closed die forging is to heat the aluminum material to a certain temperature and then forge it through a special closed die. It can produce aluminum forgings with high precision, excellent mechanical properties and good surface quality.
· Suitable for mass production
· High dimensional accuracy of aluminum forgings
· Excellent mechanical properties of aluminum forgings
Ring Forging
Ring forging is specially used to produce ring parts. After heating the aluminum blank, it is placed in a mold or forging equipment, and pressure is applied to force the metal to flow into the mold cavity to form a ring forging.
· Used to make parts with complex shapes
· Suitable for medium and large-scale production
· Aluminum forgings have high strength and toughness
Cold Forging
Cold forging is the process of plastically deforming a aluminum blank by applying pressure at room temperature without heating, thereby achieving high precision and improved mechanical properties.
· Tight tolerances and good surface finish
· Increased strength and hardness of the aluminum, improving durability
· Reduced material waste and the need for secondary processing
· Aluminum Forgings have higher strength and toughness
Heat Treatment
Heat treatment is to change the internal structure and properties of metal materials by heating, heat preservation and cooling, improve the mechanical properties of aluminum, extend service life and optimize processing performance.
· Improve the hardness and strength of aluminum materials
· Improve the toughness of aluminum materials
· Improve wear resistance and corrosion resistance
Machining
Machining is a post-processing process for aluminum forings, which improves the accuracy, surface quality and functionality of forgings through fine processing.
· Optimize appearance quality
· Improve part structure and function
· Process thin walls and complex shapes
Surface Treatment
Surface treatment can change the surface of forgings by physical, chemical or mechanical methods to improve the surface quality of aluminum forgings, increase their durability, and improve appearance and functionality.
· Improve surface hardness
· Improve appearance and improve dimensional accuracy
· Improve adhesion and corrosion resistance
Different Materials Of Forging Aluminum
1. Pure aluminum
Pure aluminum has a purity of more than 99%, excellent electrical and thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance, but relatively low strength. It is suitable for manufacturing conductive parts, chemical equipment and decorative parts.
Common grades are 1050, 1060 and 1100.
2. Aluminum-copper alloy
Aluminum-copper alloy has high strength and heat resistance, but slightly weaker corrosion resistance. It is mainly used in the aerospace field for the manufacture of structural parts, and is also used in automotive parts and high-strength mechanical parts.
Common grades include 2014, 2024 and 2219.
3. Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy
Aluminum-magnesium-silicon alloy has high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, formability, processing and welding properties. It is suitable for the manufacture of structural parts, automotive parts and building profiles.
Common grades are 6061, 6063 and 6082.

Application Of Aluminum Forging
Aluminum Forging Company's Custom Steps
Confirm customization requirements
1. Provide detailed design documents or samples of parts
The Simis engineering team will analyze the 3D drawings (CAD models) and processing drawings of forgings provided by customers to ensure that they meet the manufacturing requirements.
Samples: If customers can provide samples, we can also forge and replicate them according to the samples.
2. Confirm the performance requirements of aluminum forgings
Clearly define the various performance requirements of forgings, such as strength, hardness, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., and confirm the surface roughness, appearance quality, dimensional tolerance and accuracy requirements of aluminum alloy forgings.
3. Confirm the aluminum alloy forging material
Select the appropriate forging material according to the use environment, technical requirements or customer requirements of the parts. Simis will give reasonable suggestions based on the price, mechanical properties, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, etc. of the material.
4. Confirm the aluminum alloy forging process
Determine the appropriate forging process based on the price, shape, size, accuracy, material, etc. of the parts.
5. Make samples
Forge the selected forging materials through the corresponding process to produce the first batch of samples.
6. Comprehensive inspection of samples
The produced samples will be fully inspected to ensure that they meet the design standards and customer quality requirements.
Dimension and tolerance inspection, performance testing, chemical composition analysis, non-destructive testing and other test reports
Production and quality control
7. Mass production
After the sample is confirmed and approved by the customer, the mass production schedule is arranged according to the order requirements, and the production materials are prepared. The same aluminum forging equipment and process as the sample stage are used in the mass production process.
8. Mass production quality control
We implement strict quality control measures during the production process to ensure that the quality of each aluminum alloy forgings in mass production meets customer requirements. During the production process, the size, appearance, physical properties, etc. of the aluminum forgings are regularly inspected to ensure the consistency of each batch of parts.
9. Post-production product quality inspection
Multiple inspections by multiple people: We will arrange different inspectors to conduct multiple random inspections on the final product, including dimensional accuracy, surface quality, strength, hardness, etc., to ensure that the aluminum parts produced meet customer requirements.
10. Parts packaging and delivery
Packaging: Pack and ship the parts that have passed the quality inspection, and select the appropriate packaging method and the appropriate logistics method (such as air, sea, and land transportation) to deliver them to customers on time.
If you want to custom parts, please send me the design drawings and 3D drawings of theparts you want to customize by email, and we will calculate an accurate price for you bylooking at the detailed part parameters and 3D model.
