Problems solved by technology

However, the process is complicated, energy consumption is large, and the cost of forging is high.
The existing aluminum alloy wheels also use semi-solid alloy thixotropic rods as raw materials, but in order to be suitable for this raw material, it needs to be processed at a higher preheating temperature (generally about 590 ° C), and then under lower forging conditions Forging and forming, the corresponding energy consumption and cost are relatively high

Abstract

The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a rotationally-forged aluminum alloy hub and belongs to the technical field of manufacturing of automobile parts. Aiming to solve the problems of complicated process, low production efficiency and high energy consumption in the prior art, the manufacturing method of the rotationally-forged aluminum alloy hub is provided and includes blanking a thick aluminum alloy hot-rolling plate into a cake blank according to the size of the hub; heating and preheating at the temperature of 430 DEG C to 470 DEG C; placing the preheated blank into a die and forging in a forge press to obtain a forged aluminum alloy hub blank; finally placing the forged aluminum alloy hub blank into the forge press for rotary forging and forming, then performing heat treatment and machining to obtain the rotationally-forged aluminum alloy hub. By the method without need of upsetting and with low preheating temperature before forging and forming, process is greatly simplified, production efficiency is improved, and energy consumption is reduced. Besides, the obtained hub has good mechanical property.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a forged aluminum alloy wheel hub, which belongs to the technical field of automobile parts manufacturing. Background technique [0002] As one of the important parts in the driving system of the car, the wheel hub is also a kind of security device with high requirements. It not only bears the weight of the car, but also reflects the appearance of the car. In the past 10 years, the average annual growth rate of the global aluminum alloy automobile wheel production has reached 7.6%. It can be seen that with the increasing demand for lightweight automobiles, aluminum alloy wheels are gradually replacing traditional steel wheels in modern automobile manufacturing and are widely used. [0003] Existing aluminum alloy wheels are usually produced by casting or die-casting methods. For conventional casting methods, whether it is differential pressure casting, low-pressure casting or gravity casting, the high-sp...
