锻造是一种利用锻压机械对金属坯料施加压力，使其产生塑性变形以获得具有一定机械性能、一定形状和尺寸锻件的加工方法，锻压（锻造与冲压）的两大组成部分之一。
Forging is a kind of forging process that uses pressure forming machinery to exert pressure on metal billet and make it produce plastic deformation to obtain certain processing methods of forging, which has certain mechanical properties, shape and size, and is one of the two components of forging, forging and stamping.
铝合金锻件的生产可在多种锻造设备上进行。锻造工艺过程一般由以下工序组成，即选取优质钢坯下料、加热、成形、锻后冷却。锻锤可用于开式模锻和闭式模锻，其生产费用较低，锻打时需要控制好锤头的高度、打击力量和速度，因为在急剧变形过程中铝合金对应变速率敏感并具有放热性。机械压力机和螺旋压力机都广泛用于铝合金闭式模锻，适宜于生产中等尺寸、大体积和形状适度的铝锻件。
The production aluminum alloy forgings can be carried out on a variety of forging equipment. Hammer can be used for open die forging and closed die forging, the production cost is low, when the need to the forging hammer height, strike force and speed, because of the sharp deformation in the process Alloy strain rate sensitive and exothermic. Mechanical press and screw press are widely used in aluminum alloy closed die forging, which is suitable for the production of medium size, large volume and moderate shape aluminum forgings.
锻造设备种类很多，按照工作部分运行方式不同，锻造设备可分为直线往复运动和相对旋转运动两大类。直线往复锻造设备1、动载撞击的锻造设备2、动静载联合的锻造设备3，能冲击的锻造设备。
There are many kinds of forging equipment. According to the different operation modes of the working part, the forging equipment can be divided into two categories: straight reciprocating motion and relative rotation motion.
Linear reciprocating forging equipment
1, forging equipment with dynamic load impact
2, forging equipment combined with static and static load
3, high efficiency impacting forging equipment
