1. Material Preparation: According to the composition requirements of the alloy, select the appropriate metallic and non-metallic elements, such as copper, zinc, aluminum, nickel, etc. The raw materials are generally in solid form and need to go through a melting process to be transformed into liquid metal.

2. Melting: Place the raw materials into a crucible or other melting equipment and heat them above their melting point to completely melt and mix them. The melting temperature and time need to be precisely controlled according to the composition and requirements of the alloy to ensure that the resulting alloy is uniform and meets the specifications.

3. Casting: After melting, pour the molten metal into molds to cast. Casting is the process of injecting liquid metal into molds, allowing it to cool and solidify, and obtaining the desired shape and size. Casting methods mainly include sand casting, metal casting, die casting, etc.

4. Deburring: After casting, the surface of the metal parts needs to be deburred to remove burrs and particles. Deburring can be done through mechanical, chemical, or electrochemical methods. This step ensures the smoothness and purity of the metal part’s surface.

5. Forging Shaping: In the forging shaping stage, the heated alloy material is pressed and shaped by forging machinery to obtain parts with the required shape and size.

6. Subsequent Treatment: This includes cooling, deburring, surface treatment, and inspection processes to ensure the quality and precision of the alloy components.

7. Heat Treatment: The forged alloy usually needs to undergo heat treatment to improve its microstructure and mechanical properties. The heat treatment process may include solution treatment, aging treatment, etc.

8. Cleaning and Inspection: Finally, the forgings are cleaned to remove surface oxides, burrs, etc., and undergo final inspection to ensure that the dimensions, shape, and performance of the forgings meet the requirements.

Each step requires precise control to ensure the quality of the final product. Different alloys may require specific process adjustments to accommodate their unique material characteristics.
