Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an aluminum alloy material for replacing the steering gear of a QT400 light automobile and a gravity casting method thereof. Background technique [0002] Ductile iron (referred to as ductile iron) is one of the main materials used in the automotive steering gear industry. The reason lies in the low price, stable mechanical properties and physical indicators of ductile iron. [0003] The grade of ductile iron 400 stipulates a relatively strict and precise chemical composition combination, heat treatment specification parameters, mechanical properties and physical indicators, etc. See Table 1. [0004] Table 1 The mechanical properties and structures corresponding to the grades of ductile iron determined by GB / T 1348 [0005] [0006] The mechanical performance index and classification standard of ductile iron can be used as the benchmarking basis for innovative design and performance improvement of aluminum alloy materials...
