Application Fields of Ring Forgings

Ring forgings are ring-shaped parts processed through the metal forging process, which have superior mechanical properties and engineering properties, so they are widely used in many different application fields. Maple is a professional and trusted supplier

The following are some common application areas for ring forgings in Maple:

Diesel engine ring forging: a kind of diesel engine forging. A diesel engine is a power machine that is often used as an engine. Taking large diesel engines as an example, more than ten kinds of forgings are used, including cylinder head, main journal, crankshaft end flange output end shaft, connecting rod, piston rod, piston head, ring gear, intermediate gear, dye pump body, etc.

Marine ring forgings: Marine forgings are divided into three categories: main engine forgings, shafting forgings, and rudder forgings. Main engine forgings are the same as diesel engine forgings.Shafting forgings include thrust shafts, intermediate shafts and stern shafts, etc.Rudder forgings include rudder stock, rudder post, rudder pin, etc.

Weapon ring forging: forging occupies a more important position in the weapon industry.    Gun barrels, muzzle brakes and gun tails in artillery, rifled barrels in infantry weapons, fixed seats for rockets and submarines, stainless steel valve bodies for high-pressure coolers for nuclear submarines. All are forged products. In addition to steel forgings, weapons are also made from other materials.

Heavy machinery: In the field of heavy machinery manufacturing, ring forgings are used to manufacture construction equipment, mining machinery, metallurgical equipment, etc.

Military industry and national defense: Ring forgings also play an important role in the field of military industry and national defense, and are used to manufacture military aircraft, ships, missiles and other key military equipment.

Petrochemical Ring Forgings: Forgings are widely used in petrochemical equipment.  For example, manholes and flanges of spherical storage tanks, various tube sheets required for heat exchangers, integral forged cylinders of catalytic cracking reactors with welded flanges, cylinder joints for hydrogenation reactors, tops for fertilizer equipment Cover, bottom cover and head etc.

Petroleum and Chemical: In the petroleum, petrochemical and chemical industries, ring forgings are used to make pipe connections, valves, flanges and other components that require corrosion resistance and high pressure withstand capability.

Mining ring forgings: the proportion of forgings in mining equipment is 12-24% by equipment weight. Mining equipment includes: mining equipment, hoisting equipment, crushing equipment, ore washing equipment and sintering equipment.

Nuclear power ring forgings: Nuclear power is divided into pressurized water reactors and boiling water reactors.Large-scale forgings for nuclear power plants are divided into two categories: pressure vessels and reactor internals.The pressure shell includes: upper cylinder, lower cylinder, cylinder transition section, cylinder flange, connecting section, connecting pipe, bolts, etc.

Thermal power ring forgings: There are four key forgings in thermal power equipment, namely the rotor and retaining ring of the steam turbine generator, and the impeller and rotor of the steam turbine.

Hydropower ring forgings: important forgings in hydropower station equipment include turbine shafts, turbine generator shafts, mirror plates, thrust heads, etc.

Aerospace: Ring forgings are widely used in the aerospace field to manufacture key components such as engine parts, engine shafts, turbine blades, and connectors.   Because the aerospace industry has strict requirements for high strength, light weight and high temperature resistance of materials, ring forgings have become the preferred option.

Energy: In the energy sector, ring forgings are used to manufacture components for turbine units, rotors and shafts for power generation equipment, and critical equipment in the oil and gas industry, such as valves and pipe connections

Railway transportation: Ring forgings can be used to manufacture train axles, transmission parts and connecting parts to ensure the safety and reliability of trains.

Automobile manufacturing: The transmission system, chassis components and engine components in automobile manufacturing often require high strength and wear resistance, and ring forgings are used to manufacture crankshafts, transmission shafts, suspension parts, etc.

The application fields of ring forgings are very wide, covering many industrial fields, and its superior mechanical properties and durability make it one of the preferred materials for many key components.
