Problems solved by technology

However, if the traditional metal mold casting process is used to produce magnesium alloy wheels, there will be the following disadvantages: the metal mold is airtight, and there is no concession, and it is easy to cause defects such as insufficient pouring, cracks, shrinkage cavities, and pores of the casting; Temperature, alloy pouring temperature and pouring method are very sensitive to the quality of castings
Therefore, it is difficult to meet the requirements of mechanical properties for magnesium alloy wheels cast by traditional metal molds.

Abstract

A technology for manufacturing the Mg-alloy wheel hub includes such steps as preparing Mg alloy by additional use of RE element (0.5-2.0 wt.%) as part of its raw materials, smelting while adding the Mg-alloy coveriong agent prepared from MgCl2, CaF2, KCl, BaCl2 and MgO and the refining agent prepared from NaCl and KCl, preparing mould, spraying on inner surface of mould, casting, heat treating and surface treating. Its advantages are high strength, precision and surface finishing quality, high vibration damping effect, and saving oil.

Description

1. Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a magnesium alloy wheel hub, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a magnesium alloy wheel hub for motorcycles. 2. Technical background [0002] Wheel hub is one of the heaviest parts on motorcycles, automobiles and other vehicles, and it is also one of the most important parts. The weight of the wheel hub is an important factor affecting the performance of the vehicle. A little weight reduction will significantly improve the vehicle's starting performance, braking performance, cornering performance and reduce fuel consumption. Among all metal materials, magnesium alloy is the lightest, and the density of magnesium is only 1.74g / cm 3 , magnesium-based magnesium alloys are about 36% lighter than aluminum alloys, about 73% lighter than zinc alloys, and about 77% lighter than steel. And magnesium alloy also has a series of advantages such as high specific strength, specific e...
