Breaking the foreign monopoly! The first domestic production line for high-end large-scale forging products has officially gone into operation.

Recently, the enterprise announced that its first independently developed high-end large-scale forging product production line has officially gone into operation. This production line is equipped with core equipment such as an 80,000-ton large-scale die forging press, and can achieve large-scale production of key forging components in fields such as aerospace, new energy equipment, and marine engineering. It has broken through the long-term technical blockade and market monopoly by foreign countries and filled the gap in domestic high-end forging product production.
It is understood that this forging product production line has undergone 5 years of technical research and development, integrating multiple core technologies such as precision die forging, intelligent temperature control, and digital detection. The core equipment of the production line uses an 80,000-ton domestically developed large-scale die forging press, with a total height of 42 meters. It features stable and powerful pressure output and high forming accuracy, enabling full metal forging penetration, increasing the uniformity of the internal structure of the forgings by more than 30%, controlling the dimensional tolerance within ±0.05mm, achieving a surface roughness as low as Ra1.6μm, reducing the subsequent processing allowance by 60%, and significantly improving product performance and production efficiency.
"The commissioning of this production line marks the leap of China's forging industry from 'manufacturing' to 'intelligent manufacturing'," the enterprise's technical director introduced. The produced high-end forging products cover three major series of more than 20 products, including aviation engine turbine discs, new energy vehicle chassis components, and marine platform hydraulic supports. The materials cover various special materials such as high-temperature alloys, ultra-high strength steel, and aluminum alloys. Among them, the forging pieces of the aviation engine turbine discs adopt an integrated die forging process, with the tensile strength exceeding 1200MPa, and the service life is extended by 50% compared to traditional processes; the new energy vehicle chassis components are designed through lightweight forging, achieving a weight reduction of 15% per vehicle, helping to increase the range of new energy vehicles by 8%-10%.
It is worth noting that this production line has a high level of automation and intelligence, integrating systems such as robot loading and unloading, online non-destructive testing, and digital twin monitoring. The production cycle has increased by 40% compared to traditional production lines, and the unit energy consumption has decreased by 25%, reaching international advanced levels. Currently, the production line has signed the first batch of supply agreements with several aerospace enterprises and new energy vehicle manufacturers, with an order amount exceeding 1 billion yuan. It will gradually expand production capacity and is expected to reach an annual production capacity of 50,000 pieces, with an annual output value exceeding 3 billion yuan.
Industry experts said that high-end forging products are the "foundation" of the equipment manufacturing industry. The implementation of this production line will effectively reduce China's reliance on imported forging parts for key equipment, provide core support for the development of strategic emerging industries such as aerospace, new energy, and marine engineering, and promote the transformation of China's forging industry towards high-end, intelligent, and green development, enhancing global market competitiveness.
