In our manufacturing of forged flanges and pressure vessel components, heating plays a crucial role in shaping and improving the properties of the metal. Here’s an overview of the process. Here are some of the steps in the process - ? Material Selection: The process starts with selecting a suitable material, typically a metal like steel, which has properties suitable for the desired application. ? Heating: The metal is heated in a furnace to a temperature that makes it malleable, usually between 950°C and 1250°C (1742°F to 2282°F), depending on the material. This high temperature allows the metal to be shaped without cracking or breaking. ? Forging: Once the metal reaches the desired temperature, it is removed from the furnace and placed on a die. A hammer or press then applies force to shape the metal into the flange. The heated state of the metal makes it easier to deform and achieve the desired shape and size. ? Reheating: In some cases, the metal may need to be reheated several times during the forging process to maintain the necessary temperature and workability. ? Cooling and Heat Treatment: After forging, the metal is allowed to cool, often in a controlled manner to achieve specific mechanical properties. Heat treatments such as annealing, normalizing, or quenching and tempering may follow to refine the grain structure, improve toughness, and reduce residual stresses. ?
