A method for forming a QCr0.8 alloy tapered cylindrical ring, including: heating a standard QCr0.8 alloy cylindrical part followed by upsetting and stretching at least twice to obtain a primary blank; heating the primary blank followed by upsetting and chamfering to obtain a secondary blank, where a diameter of a top end is greater than that of a bottom end; subjecting the secondary blank to backward extrusion to form a preform; machining the preform to remove a flash and a bottom residue; subjecting a bottom end of the preform to local bulging to enable a shape and a size thereof to match that of a drive roller in a forming tooling, so as to form a profiled ring blank; and rolling the profiled ring blank by a radial-axial ring rolling machine with the forming tooling to form the tapered cylindrical ring.

Disclosed is a forging method for a high-silver aluminum alloy and a high-silver aluminum alloy forged part are provided. The forging method comprises the following steps: heating the high-silver aluminum alloy to 440° C. to 500° C., and holding for 8 to 16 hours to obtain a blank; preheating a contact portion of a forging anvil, a tong or a die with the blank to 300° C. to 480° C., and holding in the process of transferring the blank to a press; carrying out six-upsetting six-stretching multidirectional forging deformation on the blank, thus obtaining a forging blank, wherein the final forging temperature is 360° C. to 400° C.; and carrying out forming forging treatment on the forging blank, and then carrying out solid solution treatment, residual stress elimination and artificial aging treatment in sequence.
