Frequently Asked Questions About Hot Forging Press Technology
Our clients often have questions about hot forging press technology and its applications. Here are answers to some common inquiries:
What temperature range is used in hot forging press operations?
Hot forging typically occurs at temperatures above the material’s recrystallization point. For steel, this is generally between 2100°F and 2300°F (1150°C to 1260°C). Aluminum alloys are typically forged at temperatures between 700°F and 950°F (370°C to 510°C). The specific temperature is determined by the alloy composition and desired mechanical properties.
How does hot forging press technology compare to cold forging?
Hot forging offers several advantages over cold forging, including lower force requirements, better material flow, and the ability to work with harder materials. Cold forging typically provides better dimensional accuracy and surface finish but is limited to less complex shapes and softer materials. At MAIKONG, we offer both processes and can recommend the optimal approach based on your specific component requirements.
What is the typical lead time for custom hot forged components?
Lead times vary based on component complexity, material availability, and current production schedules. For standard components, lead times typically range from 4-6 weeks. Custom designs requiring new tooling may require 8-12 weeks for initial production. MAIKONG offers expedited services for time-sensitive projects when possible.
What minimum order quantities does MAIKONG require for hot forged components?
Our minimum order quantities are flexible and depend on component size, complexity, and tooling requirements. For standard components, MOQs typically start at 500 pieces. For custom designs requiring new tooling, MOQs may start at 1,000 pieces to amortize tooling costs. We work with clients to find solutions that balance economic production with inventory management needs.
