Forging process means forging heated metallic materials into tools, mechanical parts and blanks in a variety of shapes. Forging process can change internals of metallic materials and as a result, improve their mechanical performance. Since forging process is conducted in scorching condition, there are some dangerous factors such as high temperature, smoke, vibration and noise. Scalding accidents, machine tool hurts, and fire accidents may happen easily due to a negligent act. Therefore, one must be very careful during forging process. Here I would like to share with you some safety attentions during forging process.
 
1. Heating equipment, Stem cam and a lot of accessory appliances must be used during forging process. Heating equipment mainly includes flame furnace and electric furnace. Heating furnace and scorching work piece will radiate massive amounts of heat energy, and furnace slag and smoke will be generated after fuel combustion process in the flame furnace, so, ventilation and purge measures need to be taken in order to avoid injury accidents.
 
2. Forging equipment mainly includes Sand casting parts, air hammer, drop hammer, mechanical hammer, board drop hammer, spring hammer, belt drop hammer, crank press, friction press, hydraulic press, ring rolling machine, roll forging machine and so on. Different forging equipments apply impact load to work piece, so, it is easy to damage the equipment and cause human injury. In addition, vibration and noise caused by forging equipment may affect human nervous system, which may increase the possibility of accidents.
 
3. Forging tools and accessory appliances, especially hand forging and open die forging, include a wide range of items. And they are usually put in the same working place in disorder. What is more, tools are often altered frequently, which increases difficulty of checking tools. Some people may use improper tools, and this often causes injury accidents. The amount of traffic is large during forging process, so various transportation facilities are needed, and this may also cause accidents easily. Forging is a kind of teamwork. The workmanship and mental state of every operator will affect operation safety directly.
 
4. Since there are so many dangerous factors in Forging parts supplier, the operators must master certain maintenance knowledge of the equipment and observe the operating procedures strictly. The moving parts of forging equipment must be equipped with protective cover. During forging process, strong radiant heat and scorching biscuit can cause injury to human body. Therefore, the operators should wear personal protective equipment well before work.
 
To sum up, there are a lot of safety attentions to keep in mind during forging process, including metal forging and steel forging. You are never too careful during forging process. I hope that this article will be useful to some forging companies and forging suppliers.
