What Are Carbon Steel Forgings?

Carbon steel forgings are created through the metallurgical process of forging, in which carbon steel is given a particular shape by the application of pressure and heat. Carbon steel is an alloy primarily composed of iron and carbon, with other elements present in smaller quantities.
 
The carbon steel forging process begins by heating a solid piece of carbon steel, known as a billet or blank, to a temperature above its recrystallization point. This temperature allows the material to become malleable and easily deformed.
 
Once the billet reaches the desired temperature, it is placed into a die, which is a specially designed tool or mold that defines the shape of the final forged component. The heated billet is then subjected to compressive forces using a forging press or hammer, deforming it to conform to the shape of the die cavity.
 
The applied pressure causes the metal to flow and take on the shape of the die, resulting in the desired form of the forged component. The forging process can produce various shapes, such as bars, shafts, cylinders, discs, and complex geometries. After the forging operation, the forged part may undergo further heat treatment, machining, or finishing processes as required.

Choose the appropriate tooth tip type according to the specific working conditions. For example, for working conditions with medium wear resistance and penetration requirements, you can choose a general-purpose tooth tip; for extreme conditions, you need to choose a reinforced or specially designed tooth tip.
All our teeth are using high spec alloy steels to ensure excellent wear characteristics, parts is checked by the original gages to make sure the fitting is standard and ease of installation wherever possible. Wide range, quality, service, we are your best choice.

In the process of forging, not only the appropriate shape and size must be required, but also the performance requirements of the parts during the use must be met, which includes strength index, plasticity index, impact toughness, fatigue strength, fracture toughness, resistance against stress corrosion and so on. This makes forging process always better than other metal working processes. Below we would like to introduce forging under different conditions.
It is composed of three parts: big end of connecting rod,rod body and small end.Big end is separated, half of which is integrated with the rod body, and the other half is rod cap. Connecting rod cap is assembled with the main crankshaft journal by bolts and nuts.

Die forging produces parts that have excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. The process creates a tightly packed grain structure that enhances the strength and durability of the material. As a result, automotive components produced using die forging are highly resistant to wear and tear, as well as to fatigue failure.
Connecting rod connects the piston and the crankshaft, and transmits the force exerted by the piston to the crankshaft, transforming the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft. It is one of the main transmission components of automotive engines, which transmits the pressure of the expanding gas of the piston to the crankshaft, transforming the reciprocating linear motion of the piston into the rotational motion of the crankshaft, in order to output power.
Hot die forging is a type of forging process technology, which generally refers to the precision forging method of heating a metal blank to a temperature higher than the recrystallization temperature of the material, and using a mold to plastic form the metal blank into the shape and size of the forging.
