A ring forging hydraulic press is a heavy-duty forming machine specifically designed for producing large-diameter or high-strength ring forgings. It is widely used in the energy, aerospace, oil and gas, shipbuilding, and heavy machinery manufacturing industries.
This equipment uses high-tonnage hydraulic pressure to apply plastic deformation to heated metal billets, forming high-precision, high-strength ring structures. Compared to traditional free forging or casting processes, hydraulic forming can achieve:
l More uniform metal flow lines
l Higher microstructure density
l Better mechanical properties
l Lower material waste
Working Principle
A ring forging hydraulic press typically forms a complete production line in conjunction with a heating furnace, manipulator, ring mill, and automated transmission system. Its basic process flow includes:
l Heating the billet to forging temperature
l Initial upsetting or punching
l Diameter expansion and forming
l Finishing and straightening
l Subsequent heat treatment or machining
l The hydraulic system provides stable and controllable pressure output, ensuring uniform material flow and preventing cracks or internal defects.
Core advantages of ring forging hydraulic press
l High tonnage and high stability
Adopt integral frame or prestressed structure design to ensure rigidity and long-term stable operation under large tonnage conditions.
l Precise pressure and displacement control
Equipped with proportional servo hydraulic system and PLC/ CNC system, it realizes accurate control of pressure, speed and position, and ensures the dimensional consistency of forgings.
l Suitable for large and super-large ring parts
It can produce ring forgings from small and medium-sized to super-large diameter (wind power bearing rings, nuclear power flanges, etc.).
l High material utilization rate
Optimize metal streamline distribution, reduce waste and reduce raw material cost.
l Integrable automatic production line
Support linkage with robots, manipulators, heating furnaces, ring rolling mills and other equipment to realize intelligent forging production line.
l High long-term investment value
Heavy hydraulic structure has long design life and is suitable for continuous industrial production.
