The Production Process Of Precision Flange Parts Is Mainly Divided Into Three Types: Precision Machining , Forging, Casting. What Is The Difference Between These Three? In Layman's Terms: Machining Is A Method Of Removing Materials To Obtain The Size, Shape, Precision Requirements Of Parts, Generally Tool Cutting; While Forging Casting Are Mainly Methods That Do Remove Materials To Obtain Parts.
1. Casting Flange Parts, Forging Flange Parts, Machining Flange Parts
The Flange Parts Cast Have Accurate Shape Size, Small Processing Volume Low Cost, But There Are Casting Defects (Pores, Cracks Inclusions); The Internal Structure Of The Casting Is Poorly Streamlined (If It Is A Cutting Part, The Streamline Is Even Worse);
Forged Flange Parts Generally Have Lower Carbon Content Than Cast Parts Are Easy To Rust. Forgings Have Good Streamline Shape, Denser Structure Better Mechanical Properties Than Cast Flange Parts. Improper Forging Process Will Also Result In Large Uneven Grains Hardening Cracks, The Forging Cost Is Higher Than That Of Cast Flanges.
The Production Process Flow, The Difference Between Cast Flange Parts Forged Flange Parts Is That The Flange Parts Processed By Machining Have More Advantages Than The Previous Two. For Precision Machining, The Machining Accuracy Is The Highest, Which Can Reach 0.005-0.1mm, With Better Performance High Flexibility. When Processing The Same Batch Of Parts Under The Same Conditions, The Tool Path Is Exactly The Same, The Parts Are Consistent, The Quality Is Stable Reliable. It Is Suitable For Single-Piece, Small-Batch Production New Product Development, Shortening The Production Cycle Saving A Lot Of Process Equipment Costs.

2. Steps To Formulate Flange Precision Machining Process Specifications
(1) Calculate The Annual Production Plan Determine The Production Type Of Flange Parts.
(2) Analyze Precision Parts Drawings Product Assembly Drawings, Conduct Process Analysis On Parts.
(3) The Flange Part Blank.
(4) Develop Parts Process Route.
(5) Determine The Processing Allowance For Each Process Calculate The Process Dimensions Tolerances.
(6) Determine The Equipment, Cutting Tools, Fixtures, Measuring Tools Auxiliary Tools Used In Each Process.
(7) Determine The Cutting Amount Working Hours.
(8) Determine The Technical Requirements Inspection Methods For Each Major Process.
(9) Fill In The Process Documents.
In The Process Of Formulating Precision Machining Process Specifications, It Is Often Necessary To Adjust The Previously Determined Contents To Improve Economic Benefits. In The Process Of Implementing The Process Specifications, Unexpected Situations May Occur, Such As Changes In Production Conditions, The Introduction Of New Technologies Processes, The Application Of New Materials Advanced Equipment, Etc., Which Require Timely Revision Improvement Of The Process Specifications.
