Isothermal forging is a type of forging process that involves shaping a material while maintaining its temperature at a constant level throughout the forging process. In other words, the material is heated to a specific temperature and then held at that temperature while it is being shaped.
The isothermal forging process involves heating the material to a temperature that is slightly below its melting point, but high enough to allow it to be shaped easily. The material is then placed into a die or mold which has the same temperature, and pressure is applied to shape it into the desired form. As the material is shaped, it is kept at a constant temperature to ensure that it remains malleable and easy to work with.
The key advantage of isothermal forging is that it allows the production of complex, high-precision parts that would be difficult or impossible to create using other forging methods. The constant temperature also helps to prevent defects such as cracking, which can occur when a material is cooled too quickly after being shaped.
Isothermal forging is commonly used in the production of components for high-performance applications such as aerospace, automotive engineering and orthopedic implants, where the strength, durability, and precision of the parts are crucial. It can be used with a wide range of materials, including steel, titanium, and aluminum alloys, among others.
This isothermal forging cell is set up as a self-sufficient production unit.
The charging manipulator transports the blank from the charging lock to the rotary hearth furnace, removes the heated blank and places it in the die. The forged workpiece is removed from the die and is deposited in the charging lock.
The isothermal forging cell essentially consists of the following components:
- Forging press Siempelkamp 800 to from year of construction 2016
- Attachments for cell enclosure (charging and cleaning side)
- Inductive die heating (upper and lower die)
- Rotary hearth furnace FK DH11/13E from year of construction 2016,
54 KW, max. temp. 1300 °C
for titanium and nickel alloys
- Universal charging manipulator with max. handling weight 8 kg
- Inductive die heating ITG ITPA 2k80+80 From year of construction 2015, 200 kVA
- Technical equipment for controlled purging of the enclosure with nitrogen
and for controlled ventilation of the enclosure with atmospheric air
- Oxygen measuring equipment
- Feed lock DN 500 for max. component dimensions 350 x 250 x 100 mm
- Furnace airlock
- Set-up doors on the operator side of the press cell
- Hydraulics with max. operating pressure 320 bar, power consumption 35 kW
- Electrical system
