02Engineering problem

Challenge

For Spacecraft components and precision machinery, the Aluminum-Alloy Forged Bar must use 6061-T6 / 7075-T6 / 7175 at 1-3 t; diameter 300-800 mm; length 1-5 m scale while meeting Forged on an 8000 t press; Heat treated and bright machined. The engineering challenge is coordinated control of the forming-temperature window, heat-treatment response and machining distortion.
