Description
Forging Copper Ingots are copper alloy raw materials processed by forging technology. Its production process usually includes melting the copper alloy to an appropriate temperature, removing the gas and harmful impurities in the melt, forming a melt with a certain chemical composition and temperature, and providing ingots for plastic processing. Forging copper ingots are widely used in occasions that need to withstand high pressure and high temperature environments, such as heat exchangers, boiler pipes, and high-pressure liquid delivery systems.
Features
High strength and excellent mechanical properties
During the forging process, the metal grains of Forging Copper Ingots are refined and oriented through high temperature and high pressure to form a continuous fiber structure. This structure improves the tensile strength and impact resistance of the copper ingot. The tensile strength of forged copper ingots can reach more than 200 MPa, which is much higher than the 150 MPa of cast copper ingots. In addition, forged copper ingots perform well under high temperature and high pressure environments and are suitable for the manufacture of key components in industries such as aviation, automobiles, and electronics.
Precise dimensional control and processing accuracy
Forged copper ingots are processed using steel molds, and the dimensional tolerance can be controlled within ±0.1 mm, which is much better than ±1 mm of cast copper ingots. This high-precision processing eliminates the need for a large amount of trimming of forged copper ingots in subsequent processing, saving processing time and cost. For example, the yield rate of forged copper ingots is increased by about 15%, effectively improving production efficiency and saving production costs.
Excellent corrosion resistance and structural density
The forging process compacts the internal structure of copper through plastic deformation, reduces microscopic pores and inclusions, and thus improves the density and uniformity of the material. Copper itself has natural corrosion resistance, and after forging, its surface and internal structure are more stable. In the accelerated corrosion test, the corrosion resistance time of forged copper ingots in salt spray environment is about 40% longer than that of cast copper ingots. This property makes it widely used in pipelines in marine, chemical and other corrosive environments, ensuring long-term safety and reliability.
Superior thermal and electrical conductivity
The thermal conductivity of copper is one of the best among all metals, and forged copper ingots have advantages in applications such as heat exchange and power transmission. Its thermal conductivity is 8 times that of aluminum, which is much better than steel. During the forging process, the metal grains are refined and evenly arranged, which reduces grain boundary scattering and improves heat conduction efficiency. The thermal conductivity of forged copper ingots can be stably maintained above 380 W/m·K, effectively meeting the needs of efficient heat exchange systems. At the same time, the mechanical properties of forged copper ingots remain stable in a high temperature environment above 300°C, and their internal pressure bearing capacity is increased by more than 20% compared with cast copper ingots.
