When forging is required for linear slides, key considerations include material selection, process control, surface treatment, and design considerations.
Materials need to possess sufficient strength and hardness, such as alloy steel or stainless steel, to withstand high pressure and heavy loads.
Process control demands strict regulation of temperature, pressure, and deformation during forging to ensure product dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness, especially for linear slides with higher precision requirements.
After forging, surface treatment can enhance surface hardness and wear resistance, reduce friction coefficients, and prolong service life. Common methods include heat treatment, quenching, and surface nitriding.
Finally, in design, one must consider forging limitations to avoid overly complex or difficult-to-forge structures while ensuring the integrity of product functionality.
