Improving the durability and reliability of forgings for new energy vehicles is crucial for ensuring vehicle safety and extending service life. This article will elaborate on how to improve the durability and reliability of forgings for new energy vehicles from the perspectives of national policies and actual production.
From the perspective of national policies, the Chinese government has proposed multiple measures to strengthen material engineering technology research, update manufacturing technology equipment, and enhance talent training in the process of promoting the upgrading of the new energy vehicle industry. Among them, forging materials are required to have high strength, ductility, and impact resistance, and further lightweighting is needed to improve vehicle range. In addition, national standards stipulate the performance and safety indicators of forgings for new energy vehicles. For example, the national standard GB/T 32237-2015 “Forged Aluminum Alloy Parts for New Energy Vehicles” specifies the performance indicators of forgings and the requirements and testing methods for product performance.
In actual production, improving the durability and reliability of forgings for new energy vehicles requires optimizing the forging process and selecting high-performance materials. Firstly, to ensure the accuracy and surface roughness of forgings, advanced forging technology and equipment need to be employed. For example, using CNC machine tools, grinding machines, and other equipment for subsequent parts processing can significantly improve the accuracy and surface smoothness of forgings. Secondly, high-performance materials need to be selected for production, such as materials with high strength, high toughness, and high-temperature and corrosion resistance. For example, a German forging company has adopted a new type of aluminum alloy material which not only has excellent mechanical properties but also more environmentally friendly.
In summary, improving the durability and reliability of forgings for new energy vehicles requires policy support and continuous innovation and improvement in actual production. Only by doing so can the quality and safety of forgings for new energy vehicles be truly guaranteed and contribute to the future development of new energy vehicles.
