Cooling metal during forging is one of the most important steps in the metal forming process. When you are working with hot, molten metal, it can be dangerous and even deadly if it is not controlled properly
The first thing you need to do is to ensure that your cooling system is working properly and that it has enough capacity to handle the volume of metal you will be working with
You also need to make sure that your cooling system has good temperature control so that it can keep up with the temperature of your hot metal. If your cooling system does not have good temperature control, then there will be too much heat being transferred from the furnace into your coolant lines which could lead to a blow-out or some other serious problem with your cooling system
There are several different ways you can cool down molten metal during forging but this article focuses on one method: cooling metal through a chiller tank.
