Abstract
Steel forging workshop is an important part of the steel industry and plays an important role in the nature of steel production. It is a process of smelting and deformation of steel or alloys under high temperature in the forge thermal equipment. The design of the steel forging workshop should pay attention to different parameters, such as process arrangement, workshop layout, and material handling equipment. This paper will discuss each parameter in turn to analyze the design of a steel forging workshop.

Introduction
Steel forging is an important part of the steel industry and plays an important role in the nature of steel production. It is a process of smelting and deformation of steel or alloys under high temperature in the forge thermal equipment. This process is a cost-effective and efficient way of producing ferrous and non-ferrous alloy parts. Alloys are heated until they are malleable and then formed into desired shape by dies, punches and molds. The design of the steel forging workshop must conform to the requirements of certain parameters in order to realize the essential functions and goals of the workshop.
Process Arrangement
The process arrangement refers to the arrangement of the forges and other equipment used in the steel forging workshop. It involves the correct placement of equipment and the choice of their corresponding power and energy supply. Different forge types require different energy sources to heat the materials, therefore the arrangement of the forges should be considered carefully. The process arrangement should also ensure the safety of the workers and eliminate any potential safety hazards that could occur during the operation.
Workshop Layout
The steel forging workshop layout is the fundamental design of the workshop and plays an important role in its operation. Factors such as the number of forges, the type of forges, the effects of temperature and power on the layout, the operating process of the workshop, and the location of the maintenance and monitoring equipment should be taken into consideration. Furthermore, the layout should be conducive to efficient material handling and adapt to changes in production requirements.
Material Handling
Material handling is the process of moving raw materials and finished products around the steel forging workshop. It includes the selection of materials, the considerations in the storage and manipulation of materials, the selection and layout of lifting and transportation equipment, and the operation of production and storage areas. The efficient use of material handling equipment and the optimization of transportation routes are essential in improving the production cycle and reducing production costs.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the steel forging workshop is an important part of the steel industry and its design must take into consideration the important parameters such as process arrangement, workshop layout, and material handling. These parameters must be optimized in order to ensure efficient and safe operation of the workshop.
