[0158]

[0159] Table 3

[0160] in conclusion:

[0161] By comparing the experimental data, it can be clearly seen that the low-energy and high-efficiency forging method of the present invention is superior to the production method of the traditional carbon steel swing arm in terms of material properties, energy consumption and production efficiency. The present invention performs well in terms of performance improvement and energy consumption reduction in various aspects;

[0162] 1. Material properties:

[0163] The tensile strength, yield strength and elongation of Examples 1-5 are significantly higher than those of conventional steels. The tensile strength is up to 500 MPa, the yield strength is up to 330 MPa, and the elongation is maintained between 17% and 19%, which are all better than conventional steels (tensile strength 450 MPa, yield strength 300 MPa, and elongation 20%). This performance improvement means that in practical applications, the swing arm of the present invention can better withstand high loads and complex stress conditions, thereby improving service life and safety.

[0164] 2. Energy consumption:

[0165] The energy consumption of Examples 1-5 is significantly lower than that of traditional steel. The energy consumption of traditional steel is 120 kWh, while the energy consumption of the embodiments can reach 88 kWh at the lowest and 92 kWh at the highest. This makes the present invention more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly during the production process, and can effectively reduce manufacturing costs and carbon emissions.

[0166] 3.Production efficiency:

[0167] The production efficiency of Examples 1-5 is higher than that of conventional steel. The production efficiency of conventional steel is 50 pieces per hour, while the highest of the examples is 75 pieces, and the lowest is 68 pieces. The improvement of production efficiency means that more swing arms can be produced in the same time, thereby improving the production capacity and economic benefits of the production line.

[0168] Aluminum alloy material selection:

[0169] Aluminum alloys are composed of Si, Fe, Cu, Mn, Mg, Cr, Zn, Ti and other elements, and have excellent mechanical properties and machinability. These alloy elements form fine precipitates during the forging process, which hinder the movement of grain boundaries and improve the strength and hardness of the alloy. In addition, aluminum alloy materials are lighter than traditional carbon steel, which reduces the burden on the wheels and improves fuel efficiency.

[0170] Two-stage heating method:

[0171] The two-stage heating method first keeps the material at 800°C to eliminate the internal stress of the material, and then quickly heats it to 1100-1200°C to make the material reach the optimal plastic state. This process not only reduces oxidation loss and shortens the heating time, but also prevents cracks caused by poor thermal conductivity, thereby improving the quality of forgings.

[0172] Air compressor cleaning technology:

[0173] The high-temperature billet surface is cleaned by air blowing with an air compressor to remove the oxide scale on the surface. This process reduces the damage of the oxide scale to the die and forging surface, improves the surface quality, extends the service life of the die, and reduces the difficulty of subsequent processing.

[0174] Free forging process:

[0175] The free forging process makes full use of materials in the forging process and reduces material waste. The shape of the dumbbell billet after forging is close to the shape of the final product, which reduces the amount of subsequent processing and improves production efficiency.

[0176] Annealing and quenching heat treatment:

[0177] Annealing treatment makes the material structure more uniform and improves its machinability. Quenching treatment improves the internal structural strength of aluminum alloy and avoids cracks during the cooling process by controlling the cooling rate, thereby improving the product's qualification rate and mechanical properties.

[0178] Shot blasting surface treatment:

[0179] Shot blasting removes excess aluminum alloy around the swing arm during casting, making the surface smoother. This process not only improves the aesthetics of the product, but also facilitates subsequent processing and recycling of excess materials, improving material utilization.

[0180] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
