- Forging -- Faucet Technology-

- Sep 20, 2019-

Forging and casting have something in common: they are all made of the same material, forming the same product blank. The difference is: casting is the melting of raw materials into a liquid injection mold. Forging is the softening of the raw material, which is squeezed into the mold.

Forging equipment: punch, forging press, friction press, hydraulic press. What kind of machine is used depends on the size, structure and precision of the product.

Forging die cylinder, die and punch. The mold material is made of special alloy and has high temperature and impact resistance. Mold exhaust design is particularly important.

With the equipment and mold, we have to prepare the materials.

Saw the material to a suitable length, and then warm to soften.

All is ready, let's walk through the product formation process in our minds.

Let's see the real ones.

It's hot out of the oven and it's still red on the top. Can you understand the meaning of red punching?

The next step is to remove the thin parts (rough edge) on the side of the product.

After finishing, it is ready for the next polishing process.

After finishing, it is ready for the next polishing process.

Forging advantages

Faucet adopts forging technology, with low production cost and fast processing; High physical strength, compact texture, high and low temperature resistance, excellent performance; Product appearance high precision, smooth surface, no surface pores and sand holes; High yield after polishing and plating.

It is also made of brass. Why is its performance better than casting?

Forging disadvantages

Because the forging process does not use sand cores as the casting process does, it is not possible to produce a product with a hollow interior. As a result, the raw weight of the product is heavy, and the material utilization rate is low. There are also some shapes that can’t be made by forging.

Forging prospects

Before the forging process due to loud noise, soot, does not meet the requirements of environmental protection, now with the development of The Times, the arrival of industrial automation, noise-free pollution, manipulating operation of the modern forging has been gradually popularized, the forging process will continue to lead this era with unparalleled advantages.
