Breakthrough! Successfully Forged An 8-ton Super-large Forged Plate

Recently, the aerospace special aluminum alloy forging production line of Dongqing's expansion and renovation project successfully forged a super-large key forged plate with a single weight of 8 tons, setting a new production record for Dongqing in the field of large forgings.

The aerospace special aluminum alloy forging production line is a renovation and expansion project initiated by Dongqing in October 2023 with a total investment of over 400 million yuan. This production line consists of four new functional forging presses and supporting heating furnaces and other equipment and facilities, replacing the four forging hydraulic presses and other old equipment that were put into operation in 1960. The technical level of the new production line equipment is among the top in China, and the performance of some of the main machines has reached the leading level in the industry. As a key link in the material supply chain for national key projects, the new production line has greatly enhanced Dongqing's product competitiveness in high-precision aluminum alloy forgings in the cutting-edge field. The forged plates produced this time are of extremely large size and weight. During the forging process, a series of core technical problems have been effectively overcome. This not only demonstrates the strength of Dongqing's production technology team but also verifies the high-precision manufacturing and large-scale production capacity of the new production line. It marks a crucial step for Dongqing in the field of super-large forgings manufacturing and provides stronger support for the development of Dongqing's high-end manufacturing.
