Abstract

The production method of the double-flange thin-walled irregular part of the present invention involves removing the original window end process clamps and openings on the mold, reducing the wax temperature and increasing the mold shell strength during the wax molding process, increasing the liquid stirring speed during argon refining in the melting process, using steel wire mesh for anti-collision isolation on the product surface during solution treatment, and three rounds of high and low temperature treatment. This ensures that the local wall thickness of the window processing is sufficient during processing, the intersection point of the outer circle surface and the four window surfaces is concentric, the inner opening size is stable, and the flange surfaces at both ends are perpendicular to the center line. During the machining process, the product size remains stable as the wall thickness decreases, and the overall pass rate of the cylinder frame reaches 90%.
