Abstract

The invention provides a thermal treatment method and equipment for manufacturing an aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle. The thermal treatment method is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) heating an aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting to 537-547 DEG C; (2) maintaining the temperature of the aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting at 537-547 DEG C for 335-345 minutes; (3) quenching the aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting in water of 25-35 DEG C for 180 seconds; (4) heating the aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting to 153-163 DEG; (5) maintaining the temperature of the aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting at 153-163 DEG C for 235-245 minutes; and (6) cooling the aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting in air at the room temperature. By virtue of orthogonal test optimization design on the thermal treatment method and the equipment, the aluminum-alloy automobile steering knuckle casting can have good tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness after being thermally treated; the improvement on the mechanical properties is superior to other methods currently adopted in the field.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of heat treatment of automobile parts, in particular to a heat treatment method and equipment for a cast aluminum alloy automobile steering knuckle. Background technique [0002] At present, automobile steering knuckles are mainly made of aluminum alloy, and casting and forming occupy a major position. In the manufacturing process of cast aluminum alloy steering knuckle, heat treatment is a very important link, which directly determines the mechanical properties and internal structure of aluminum alloy steering knuckle. Before the process of the present invention appeared, there was also a heat treatment process for cast aluminum alloy automobile steering knuckles, but the process control range was relatively wide, and there was no optimal combination of solution temperature, solution time, aging temperature, and solution time. Contents of the invention [0003] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to ...
