The invention discloses a forklift fork, which comprises a vertical part, a horizontal part and a fork tooth arranged at the front end of the horizontal part, the forklift fork is made of steel material, and the steel material is mainly composed of C, Si, B, Cr, Ti, Cu, Mn, Ni, Al, Mg, Nb, V, rare-earth elements, S, P, the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. A preparation method of the forklift fork includes the following steps: the materials are first prepared into the steel meeting requirement, a needed section is then
cut out, so that a rough blank I is obtained, the rough blank I then undergoes medium-frequency heating pretreatment and is then bent into the vertical part and the horizontal part of the forklift fork until an included
angle Alpha is formed between the vertical part and the horizontal part of the forklift fork, and after back sawing, head
cutting, sleeve
welding,
grinding, ultrasonic flaw detection, heat treatment, primary shot-blasting
grinding, corrective
grinding and secondary shot-blasting grinding, the forklift fork is obtained. The properties of the forklift fork produced by the invention, such as strength,
toughness,
wear resistance and
weldability, are good, the
safety coefficient is high, and the service life is long.
