[0009] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0010] The traditional manufacturing process for piston rods involves forming them using a friction press, resulting in a cross-shaped, slender piston rod. This friction press process is wasteful of materials, and the metal fibers are cut off over a large area due to the significant differences in extrusion volume across different parts.
[0011] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a multi-directional integral die forging process for aircraft landing gear piston rods, breaking through existing technological barriers and realizing the manufacturing of all-fiber hollow piston rods. This further ensures the supply capacity and industrial security of my country's aviation and related industries. Furthermore, in the manufacturing process of the all-fiber piston rod, the piston rod forging exhibits complete metal flow lines, excellent comprehensive performance, high production efficiency, low cost, and considerable market returns.
[0012] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention discloses a multi-directional die forging process and method for an aircraft landing gear all-fiber piston rod, the specific process of which is as follows: (1) Raw material testing: Dimensional and performance testing of raw materials that meet the procurement requirements and specifications; (2) Making blanks: Making blanks from raw materials according to requirements; (3) Billet heating: Heating the billet; (4) All-fiber multi-directional die forging: The heated billet is placed on a special press and the piston rod forging bar is die forged using a special die to achieve the dimensions shown in the drawing; (5) Punching: Punching is performed on the forgings using multi-directional die forging technology; (6) Post-forging heat treatment: Heat treatment shall be carried out in accordance with the heat treatment specifications to meet the technical requirements of the drawings.
[0013] The raw material is bar stock.
[0014] The advantages and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. The present invention provides a multi-directional die forging process and method for an aircraft landing gear all-fiber piston rod, which has high production efficiency. After the billet is heated, it is placed in a special mold, and the entire forming process is controlled by a special press, resulting in extremely high production efficiency.
[0015] 2. The present invention provides a multi-directional die forging process and method for an aircraft landing gear all-fiber piston rod. The piston rod forging is subjected to six-directional pressure during the forming process, resulting in sufficient forging deformation and intact, dense metal fibers, which greatly improves and eliminates internal defects. Furthermore, the metal fibers coincide with the direction of force, significantly improving the fatigue strength and service life of the landing gear.
[0016] 3. The present invention provides a multi-directional die forging process and method for an aircraft landing gear all-fiber piston rod, which uses a high-precision combined mold to achieve near-net-shape forming of piston rod forgings in multiple directions, resulting in high material utilization and significantly reducing manufacturing costs.
[0017] 4. The present invention provides a multi-directional die forging process and method for an aircraft landing gear all-fiber piston rod, which has a short manufacturing cycle. Due to the high material utilization rate and small machining allowance of the piston rod forging, the manufacturing cycle of the piston rod can be significantly shortened.
