Shanxi Jianing Forging has collected real-world engineering cases of long shafts, short shafts, drive shafts, and marine nuclear power shaft forgings, fully showcasing the forging process of shaft forgings, finished product precision, and practical application scenarios for heavy equipment.
A wind power parts factory located in Xiangyang, Hubei, has long supplied key shaft forgings for wind power equipment. As the industry's requirements for component reliability continue to rise, the plant faces new challenges in the processing efficiency and product quality of shaft forgings. Leveraging its experience in forging, Jianing Forging provided the plant with targeted shaft forging solutions, improving the stability of its production line.
The main problems this wind turbine parts factory encountered when producing shaft forgings were low material utilization rates and insufficient internal microstructural density of finished parts, which led to extended machining cycles and increased scrap rates. At the same time, under traditional processes, forgings carry the risk of microcracks after heat treatment, affecting the long-term safety of wind power equipment in harsh outdoor environments. In addition, the original supplier lacked flexibility in delivery schedules and could not coordinate with the factory's rapid production adjustment schedule.
To address these pain points, Jianing Forging offers systematic shaft forging solutions, covering material selection, forging processes, and heat treatment control. By optimizing forging die design and upsetting processes, material utilization is improved and blank redundancy is reduced. A more accurate temperature control heating specification is adopted, resulting in finer grains and uniform microstructure inside the forging, thereby improving the fatigue strength of the shaft forging. Pre-cooling quenching and tempering processes are introduced in the post-processing stage, effectively eliminating the risk of microcracks and helping the product meet the technical acceptance standards of wind power accessory manufacturers. At the same time, Jianing Forging has established a flexible production scheduling mechanism that can promptly adjust delivery batches based on order fluctuations, shortening routine delivery cycles and providing reliable support for production continuity.
