The MAIKONG Forging Process for 7075 Aluminum
At MAIKONG, we’ve perfected the art and science of producing premium machined aluminum forgings 7075 t6. Our comprehensive process ensures optimal grain flow, enhanced mechanical properties, and superior structural integrity in every component we manufacture.
MAIKONG’s precision forging process for 7075 aluminum components
Our Advanced Forging Methodology
Material Preparation
We begin with premium-grade 7075 aluminum billets, which undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure material integrity before entering our forging process.
Precision Heating
Our computer-controlled furnaces heat the aluminum to precise temperatures (typically 780-900°F) to achieve optimal plasticity for the forging process.
Controlled Deformation
Using hydraulic presses ranging from 800 to 3,000 tons, we apply carefully calculated pressure to form the aluminum into the desired shape while optimizing grain structure.
Heat Treatment
Our in-house heat treatment facilities perform the precise T6 tempering process, including solution heat treatment followed by artificial aging to achieve maximum strength.
Precision Machining
Our advanced CNC machining centers transform forgings into finished components with tolerances as tight as ±0.0005 inches, ensuring perfect fit and function.
Quality Assurance
Every component undergoes comprehensive inspection including dimensional verification, material testing, and non-destructive evaluation to ensure compliance with specifications.
Grain Flow Optimization in Machined Aluminum Forgings 7075 T6
The forging process aligns the grain structure of aluminum along the contours of the part, significantly enhancing mechanical properties compared to cast or machined-from-plate alternatives. This directional strengthening is particularly valuable in high-stress applications where component failure is not an option.
