The invention provides a manufacturing method of a coupler
knuckle, which comprises the following steps of blanking, heating for the first time, free
forging, heating for the second time, die
forging for the first time, trimming for the first time, heating for the third time, die
forging for the second time, trimming for the second time,
processing, heat treatment and flaw detection, wherein in the step of
processing, the pattern draft of a blank making piece is processed; in the step of heat treatment, the
quenching and
tempering treatment is performed on the blank making piece; in the step of flaw detection, the flaw detection is performed on the surface of the blank making piece; if the qualification is obtained after the flaw detection, the product manufacturing is completed; and if the qualification is not obtained after the flaw detection, the product is moved to a waste area. According to the manufacturing method of the coupler
knuckle, the coupler
knuckle forging process is determined to be the free forging blank making, two-time die forging and two-time trimming production processes in accordance with the structural features of a forging coupler knuckle. After the coupler knuckle which is produced by adopting the forging process is used,
casting defects such as air holes,
slag inclusion,
shrinkage porosity and the like of the
casting coupler knuckle can be completely avoided, the
internal quality of the coupler knuckle is guaranteed, and the service life of the coupler knuckle is prolonged.
