How about the appearance inspection of shaft forgings?

The quality inspection of shaft forgings is divided into the inspection of appearance quality and the inspection of internal quality.


The quality inspection of shaft forgings is divided into the inspection of appearance quality and the inspection of internal quality.

Appearance quality inspection is generally non-destructive inspection, usually with the naked eye or low-power magnifying glass inspection, if necessary, also using non-destructive testing methods.

For shaftForgingsThe non-destructive testing methods used in the quality inspection are generally: magnetic powder inspection method, penetration inspection method, eddy current inspection method, ultrasonic inspection method, etc.

The magnetic particle inspection method is widely used to examine ferromagnetic metal or alloy shafts.ForgingsSurface or near-surface defects, such as cracks, hairlines, white spots, non-metallic inclusions, delamination, folds, carbide or ferrite bands, etc. This method is only applicable to the inspection of ferromagnetic material shaft forgings, and is not suitable for shaft forgings made of austenitic steel. Penetration inspection method can not only check the magnetic material shaft forgings, but also check the surface defects of non-ferromagnetic material shaft forgings, such as cracks, looseness, folding, etc. Generally, it is only used to check the surface defects of non-ferromagnetic material shaft forgings, and the defects hidden below the surface cannot be found.

Eddy current testing is used to check the surface or near surface defects of conductive materials.

Ultrasonic testing method is used to check the internal defects of shaft forgings such as shrinkage cavity, white spot, core crack, slag inclusion, etc. Although the method is convenient, fast and economical, it is difficult to accurately determine the nature of the defects.

With the development of non-destructive testing technology, new non-destructive testing methods such as acoustic vibration method, acoustic emission method, laser holographic method, CT method and so on have appeared. The appearance of these new methods and their application in the inspection of shaft forgings will greatly improve the quality inspection level of shaft forgings.

Different Forging Deformation Methods When Forging Forgings

Different forging deformation methods, such as free forging, open die forging, closed die forging, extrusion, top upsetting, high-speed die forging, rolling, etc., its essence is to apply different forms of thermal and mechanical conditions to the blank through the corresponding forging equipment processing and die, so as to produce different physical fields and organizational properties evolution processes. The same forging, the choice of deformation mode is reasonable, the quality of the forging is very different, the wrong choice may make the forming process can not be achieved, not very reasonable choice will make forming difficult, prone to many quality defects.

What is the organizational stress of crane wheel forgings?

If there is phase change in the cooling process of crane wheel forgings, it will produce tissue stress. As with heating, the tissue stress is also caused by the change of the specific volume of the tissue before and after the phase change, and the outer layer and the heart phase change are different.
