Our Hot Forging Aluminum Process
At MAIKONG, we’ve refined our hot forging process to deliver consistent quality and exceptional performance in every component we manufacture.
-
Design and Engineering
Our process begins with thorough review of your specifications and requirements. Our engineering team analyzes the design for manufacturability and may suggest optimizations to improve performance or reduce costs.
-
Tooling Development
We design and manufacture custom dies and tooling specific to your component. Our advanced CAD/CAM systems ensure precise die creation for optimal material flow and dimensional accuracy.
-
Material Preparation
High-quality aluminum billets are cut to size and prepared for the forging process. Each batch is verified for composition and quality before proceeding.
-
Heating
The aluminum is heated to precise temperatures (typically 750-950°F depending on the alloy) in controlled furnaces to achieve optimal plasticity for forging.
-
Forging Operation
Using hydraulic presses ranging from 500 to 3,000 tons, we apply controlled pressure to form the heated aluminum into the desired shape using single or multi-stage forging processes.
-
Trimming and Cleaning
Excess material (flash) is removed, and parts are cleaned to prepare for heat treatment and finishing operations.
-
Heat Treatment
Components undergo precise heat treatment cycles to achieve the required mechanical properties, including solution treatment, quenching, and aging processes.
-
Quality Inspection
Every component undergoes rigorous inspection including dimensional verification, visual inspection, and when required, non-destructive testing such as ultrasonic or dye penetrant inspection.
-
Finishing Operations
Based on your requirements, we perform additional operations such as CNC machining, surface treatment, or assembly before final inspection and packaging.
