The 7075 T6 Aluminum Forging Process
MAIKONG’s precision 7075 T6 aluminum forging process in action. https://maikongforge.us
At MAIKONG, our 7075 T6 aluminum forging process begins with selecting premium-grade 7075 aluminum billets. These are heated to optimal forging temperature before being shaped under immense pressure using our advanced hydraulic presses. This process aligns the metal’s grain structure, eliminating voids and enhancing mechanical properties.
Key Steps in Our Forging Process
- Billet Preparation: Premium 7075 aluminum is cut to precise dimensions
- Heating: Billets are heated to 750-780°F (399-416°C) for optimal plasticity
- Forging: Material is shaped under controlled pressure using custom dies
- Cooling: Controlled cooling prevents distortion and cracking
- T6 Heat Treatment: Solution heat treating, quenching, and artificial aging
- Quality Control: Comprehensive testing for dimensional accuracy and material properties
Advantages of Forging Over Other Manufacturing Methods
Forging Advantages
- Superior grain structure alignment
- Enhanced mechanical properties
- Greater strength-to-weight ratio
- Improved fatigue resistance
- Better stress distribution
- Higher impact resistance
Casting Limitations
- Potential for porosity and voids
- Lower mechanical strength
- Reduced fatigue resistance
- Inconsistent material properties
- Limited stress-bearing capacity
- Potential for internal defects
The forging process significantly enhances the inherent properties of 7075 aluminum, making it ideal for applications where failure is not an option. By aligning the grain structure and eliminating voids, forging creates components with superior strength, durability, and reliability compared to casting or machining from billet.
