Superalloys, serving as the critical materials for hot-end components like turbine blades, combustion chambers, and turbine disks, are widely used in aviation, aerospace, and energy sectors due to their excellent performance in high-temperature environments. However, controlling the microstructure of superalloys remains a significant challenge in actual production. Radial forging, with its high efficiency, high material utilization, and significant improvement of the microstructure of forgings, shows great potential in the production of superalloy materials. Through multiple hammers and high-frequency forging, radial forging achieves uniform deformation of the billets, enhancing the mechanical properties and internal density of the forgings. This paper reviews the characteristics of the radial forging process and its application in the forging of superalloys, covering aspects such as radial forging equipment, microstructural evolution, and forging penetration efficiency analysis. By summarizing and analyzing existing research results, this paper provides comprehensive references for technicians engaged in the development of radial forging equipment and process design, helping them better understand the latest developments and application prospects of radial forging technology. It also provides an important theoretical foundation and technical support for future innovations and improvements in radial forging technology.
