Hot rolled steel is suitable for forging.
Hot rolled steel has high plasticity at high temperature and is suitable for forging. Hot rolled steel billets are forged at high temperatures of 1000-1250℃, which can destroy the casting structure of the steel ingot, refine the grains, eliminate microstructure defects, and thus improve the structural density and mechanical properties of the steel. In addition, hot rolled steel has high plasticity and low deformation resistance, which can significantly reduce energy consumption and costs.
Advantages of hot rolled steel in forging
Improve the structural structure: hot rolling can destroy the casting structure of the steel ingot, refine the grains, eliminate microstructure defects, and thus improve the structural density and mechanical properties of the steel.
Reducing energy consumption and costs: The metal has high plasticity and low deformation resistance during hot rolling, which greatly reduces the energy consumption of metal deformation and reduces production costs.
Improve processing performance: Hot rolling can improve the processing performance of metals and alloys, break the coarse grains in the casting state, heal cracks, reduce or eliminate casting defects, and improve the processing performance of alloys.
The difference between hot-rolled steel and other steels
Cold-rolled steel: Rolled below the recrystallization temperature, high strength but poor toughness and weldability.
Castings: Molded by pouring, the mechanical properties are lower than forgings of the same material.
Of course, there is no specific material suitable for forging. It depends on what kind of scene your forging is used in. Different scenes have different requirements for the rigidity of metals.
