The apertured first plate is configured from or otherwise includes first plate metal. A first sheet is bonded to the apertured first plate to form a first grid structure. The first apertures extend through the apertured first plate to the first sheet. The first sheet is configured from or otherwise includes first sheet metal.

A method for manufacturing a forged component includes: performing hot forging on a material; heating the hot forged material to a first set temperature; and performing warm coining to correctly shape the heated material. The material may be heated to a second set temperature before hot forging. The material heated to the second set temperature may be hot forged. The second set temperature may be higher than the first set temperature. The hot forged material may be subjected to controlled cooling to a third set temperature at a predetermined cooling rate. The controlled cooled material may be heated to the first set temperature. The third set temperature may be lower than or equal to the first set temperature.

Provided is a method for manufacturing a hot-forged member, the method enabling efficient hot forging while preventing defects such as cracks even when a poor workability alloy is used as a material to be hot forged. A method for manufacturing a hot-forged member, comprising: a heating step of heating an unheated material for hot forging in a furnace to a hot forging temperature; a heat-resistant insulation material bonding step of bonding a heat-resistant insulation material to at least a part of a surface of a material for forging removed from the furnace to obtain a material to be hot forged; and a hot forging step of compressing a part or all of the material to be hot forged into a predetermined shape using any of a die, an anvil, and a tool.

A manufacturing method provides a high-quality material for ring rolling. The manufacturing method of the material for ring rolling includes a step of heating a disk-shaped material for hot forging to a hot working temperature, a step of arranging the material for hot forging onto a lower die having a convex portion with a truncated conical shape, a step of forming a thin portion by pressing a center portion of the material for hot forging by using an upper die having a convex portion with a truncated conical shape, and a step of manufacturing a material for ring rolling by removing the thin portion wherein a center of gravity on a half section of the material for ring rolling is located so as to be closer to an outer peripheral surface of the half section than a center of the half section in a thickness direction of the half section.

The invention discloses a process of manufacturing heavy and critical components such as a blowout preventer (BOP) with a combination of open die forging, piercing and machining process which results in to better material utilization and saving in the machining time. The forging process of the invention involves a step of notching, wherein a transverse notch is made near each end of the ingot before cogging said ingot. The invention allows development of safety and critical components with effective material utilisation.

A mold of the present disclosure is used when forging a billet having a rod shape, and the mold includes: a lower mold having a groove portion for housing the billet; an upper mold having a pressing portion engaged with the groove portion and that presses the billet; and a guide portion disposed in the groove portion or the pressing portion and that guides a flow of a material of the billet in a longitudinal direction of the billet. In a state in which the groove portion and the pressing portion are engaged, in a direction in which the groove portion extends, a protruding amount of a top portion of the guide portion to an inner side of the groove portion is larger than a protruding amount of end portions on both sides sandwiching the top portion of the guide portion to the inner side of the groove portion.

A process for stamping metallic member with forging thickness of side walls, the process comprising: a forming step by forging, which forms the metallic member by forging; a step for forging thickness of the side walls, which extrudes the side walls of the metallic member to increase thickness of the metallic member; a specular treatment step with diamond cutter, which generates metallic texture of the side walls of the metallic member; and a finish step for forging thickness of the side walls of the metallic member. Wherein the metallic member, for example, is a sheet stamping component.

A method to improve the collapse resistance of metallic tubular products is disclosed. Stress is applied to the metallic tubular products in order to change the residual stress profile of the metallic tubular products, such as those that have completed a straightening process, resulting in a residual stress profile that improves collapse resistance. The metallic tubular product is subjected to radial compression processing to control the residual stress profile and to enhance collapse resistance. The radial compression process may be applied after the tubular product has been subjected to a straightening process.

A mold of the present disclosure is used when forging a billet having a rod shape, and the mold includes: a lower mold having a groove portion for housing the billet; an upper mold having a pressing portion engaged with the groove portion and that presses the billet; and a guide portion disposed in the groove portion or the pressing portion and that guides a flow of a material of the billet in a longitudinal direction of the billet. In a state in which the groove portion and the pressing portion are engaged, in a direction in which the groove portion extends, a protruding amount of a top portion of the guide portion to an inner side of the groove portion is larger than a protruding amount of end portions on both sides sandwiching the top portion of the guide portion to the inner side of the groove portion.

In a pressing step, a first forged product is pressed by a first die, and thereby, a second forged product including a rough flange having a thickness-changing portion is produced. The thickness-changing portion includes a front part protruding frontward from a side of a rough web part and a rear part protruding rearward from the side of the rough web part. Each of the front part and the rear part includes a first part, and a second part that is thicker than the first part and is located farther from the rough web part than the first part. In the pressing step, at least a part of the rough flange that is above or below the web part (thick part) is pressed by the first die, whereby the material of the first forged product in the part is caused to flow frontward and rearward, and the thickness-changing portion is formed.
