Abstract: Ultra-large plate forgings are foundation of heavy machinery, but many parts of the type cannot be made by conventional technologies due to the characters of extreme manufacturing in terms of size and quality requirements. This paper introduced a systematically method called cylinder unfolding method (CUM) for producing large plate forgings, by using a serial of operations including “splitting”, “unfolding”, and “flattening” of a thick cylinder obtained from saddle forging. The technological route of CUM was presented in detail with an example of plate forging with the horizontal sizes of 6100 mm and thickness of 300 mm. The deformation features of saddle forging for fabricating transitional cylinders were analyzed, and then the subsequent handling steps including splitting, unfolding and flattening of the cylinder, as well as the auxiliary processing, were addressed. The practice proved that CUM can provide an efficient way for manufacturing ultra-large plate forgings and meet the strict requirements in geometry and mechanical performance, without highly increasing the investments of forming equipment and tooling.
