What is the difference between aluminum forgings and ordinary forged products（二）

1、 Application Fields

Aluminum forgings:

Due to its characteristics of lightweight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, aluminum forgings are widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, and other fields. For example, in the aerospace industry, aluminum forgings are used to manufacture key components such as aircraft engine mounts and wing connectors; In the field of automobile manufacturing, aluminum forgings are used to manufacture engine mounts, steering knuckles, wheel hubs, and other components.

Ordinary forged products:

The application fields of ordinary forged products are relatively wide, covering multiple industries such as machinery, construction, and transportation. For example, in the mechanical manufacturing industry, forged products are used to manufacture various key components such as shafts, gears, connecting rods, etc; In the construction industry, forged products can be used to manufacture steel structural components, bridge supports, and so on.

2、 Cost and benefit

Aluminum forgings:

Cost: Due to the increasing cost of aluminum alloy materials and the complexity of forging processes, the production cost of aluminum forgings is relatively high. However, due to its lightweight and high-strength characteristics, aluminum forgings have high economic benefits in long-term use due to reduced transportation efficiency and energy consumption, as well as extended service life.

Ordinary forged products:

Cost: The production cost of ordinary forged products is relatively low because of their diverse types of raw materials and simple processes. However, in certain high-performance application scenarios, it may be necessary to use higher cost raw materials or more complex forging processes to meet design requirements.
