The invention discloses a production
machining process for an automobile half shaft. The process is characterized by including the following steps that (1) materials are selected and sheared, and meanwhile working allowance is determined, so that subsequent
machining operation is facilitated; (2) die
forging is carried out on the half shaft on an air hammer, and a swing grinder is used for swing-
grinding of a cap; (3) the half shaft is subjected to shot blasting; (4) a blank rod is straightened, and the perpendicularity is guaranteed; (5) the small end is roughly turned, and rough turning and finish turning are carried out through a hexagonal
capstan lathe or a profile lathe; (6) a large hole is turned, end face flattening is a key procedure for increasing the half shaft
production line productivity, and end face milling through a plunge-
cut method is good; (7) the large end is subjected to rough turning and finish turning, and the small end is subjected to finish turning; (8) a spline is subjected to cold rolling; and (9)
thermal treatment is carried out on the half shaft, heating is started until the set temperature of an electric furnace reaches 840-860 DEG C,
chlorine gas is led to the furnace for clearing the furnace for about 30 min, the protective
atmosphere is led into the furnace, heat preservation is conducted for 60 min, cleaning is conducted with half-
quenching oil at the temperature of 30-80 DEG C,
tempering is carried out at the temperature of 550-650 DEG C, heat preservation is conducted for 120 min after
tempering, and discharging is conducted after cooling.
