Thermal Balance Analysis and Optimal Design of Cooling System for Forming Furnace
The process of hot forming furnace includes two main processes:heating and cooling.The heating process is to heat the material to the desired plastic deformation temperature,in order to make the material more prone to plastic deformation during the forming process.The temperature control during the heating process and the selection of heating time have a significant impact on the forming quality.During the heating process,it is necessary to adjust the furnace temperature and heating power reasonably to ensure that the material is uniformly heated and reaches the required temperature.In addition,attention should also be paid to the heating rate of the material,as either too fast or too slow can affect the forming quality.The cooling process is to rapidly cool the material to room temperature after completing plastic deformation,in or-der to solidify the shape and structure of the material.The control of cooling process plays an important role in maintaining the stability and per-formance of formed materials.Reasonable selection of cooling medium and cooling rate can prevent material deformation or internal stress,there-by improving forming quality and material service life.During the cooling process,attention should also be paid to the selection of cooling time,as too short or too long can affect the performance of formed materials.In addition to the control of heating and cooling processes,the process of hot forming furnaces also needs to consider the influence of other factors.For example,the selection and performance requirements of materials,the selection of forming processes,and the operating parameters of equipment,reasonable selection and configuration can improve production ef-ficiency and forming quality.It mainly analyzes the existing molding processes and optimizes the design of the cooling system to achieve optimal equipment efficiency,thereby achieving the goals of energy conservation,emission reduction,and high efficiency.
