Cost Optimization Strategies for Shaft Forging

Material and Process Optimization:
Select cost-effective standard steel grades to reduce the cost of customized materials. Employ precision forging techniques with optimized mold design to achieve near-net-shape forming, reducing subsequent machining allowance and minimizing material waste and processing time.

Streamlining Production Processes:
Combine roughing and semi-finishing operations to reduce the number of setups and equipment occupancy. Introduce automated equipment to improve efficiency, shorten process length, and reduce labor and energy consumption.

Quality and Cost Balance:
Determine the minimum effective allowance through experimentation to balance scrap rate and material cost. Strengthen equipment maintenance to reduce downtime losses and ensure quality stability while controlling overall costs.
