The production of aluminum forgings is a precise craft that transforms raw metal into high-performance components. At Southwest Aluminium (Kunshan) Co., Ltd, we’ve honed this process since 2012, creating 7075 rings and discs for global industries. How does it work?
It starts with high-quality aluminum billets, often 7075 alloy, preheated to 370°C-480°C for malleability. These billets are placed in dies and shaped using powerful presses—our 630 to 10,000-ton lines handle everything from small bars to large-diameter rings. Closed-die forging ensures precision for complex shapes, while open-die suits simpler, larger parts.
Post-forging, parts are cooled carefully to avoid distortion. Heat treatment, like T6 for 7075 (solution at 470°C, quenching, aging at 120°C), boosts strength to 570 MPa. Surface cleaning removes oxides, and CNC machining achieves tight tolerances (±0.5mm). Rigorous testing—ultrasonic, tensile, and microstructural—verifies quality per AMS 4126 or ASTM B247 standards.
Southwest Aluminium(Kunshan)’s ISO 9001 processes and 70,000-ton capacity ensure efficiency for distributors and machining factories in the EU. With SGS certifications and 24-hour quotes, we deliver tailored forgings, from aerospace components to EV parts, showcasing a process where precision meets power.
