Net Dimensions: 600*2500*4000 (mm)

Traditional aerospace main landing gear components primarily rely on casting for forming. Cast parts often exhibit surface defects such as gas pores, shrinkage cavities, and cracks, which require post-processing and may compromise the product’s physical properties or even render it unusable. Cast components suffer from lower mechanical strength, inferior surface quality, coarse grains, and porous structures, necessitating additional machining processes. The casting process inevitably results in rough and uneven surfaces, making them unsuitable for specific finishing treatments. Additionally, casting demands high-performance mold materials, leading to elevated mold manufacturing costs. The use of chemical substances and high-temperature heating equipment in casting may release harmful substances, contributing to environmental pollution. Furthermore, the high energy consumption in casting production risks wasteful utilization of energy resources.

Material: 5CrNiMo forging

In the material selection for mold bases, 5CrNiMo forged steel is typically employed due to its high strength, excellent heat resistance, and superior wear resistance. The 5CrNiMo material demonstrates outstanding mechanical properties that fulfill the operational requirements of mold bases during high-pressure casting processes. Furthermore, its exceptional machinability and heat treatability ensure both precise manufacturing quality and extended service life of the mold components.

Product Application

Hot forging die and mold base for aerospace main landing gear

1. Improved Material Properties:
Hot forging enhances the strength, hardness, and toughness of metals by refining their grain structure. At elevated temperatures, the plasticity of the metal increases, while deformation resistance decreases, facilitating easier forming.

2. Complex Geometry Capability:
Enhanced metal flowability during hot forging enables the production of intricate shapes. Internal defects such as pores are welded shut under high temperatures, improving mechanical performance.

3. Higher Material Utilization:
Precision and surface finish of forged parts are improved by optimizing temperature, pressure, and hammering cycles, thereby reducing material waste.

4. Energy Efficiency:
Compared to other forming processes, hot forging consumes less energy overall. Although the initial heating equipment costs and energy consumption are high, the overall energy efficiency remains advantageous.

5. Enhanced Surface Quality:
High-temperature processing eliminates internal defects (e.g., pores) and ensures a smoother surface finish, reducing the need for post-processing.
