Automobile forging refers to metal parts manufactured by metal forging process for automobile parts. Forging is a common manufacturing process in which a metal material is subjected to controlled heating and plastic deformation to produce parts of the desired shape and size in a specific mold. Automotive forgings have the following main characteristics: high strength: Because the forgings are processed by plastic deformation, the internal grain structure is relatively dense, and higher strength and hardness are obtained. This allows automotive forgings to withstand high loads and high temperatures from engines, chassis and drivetrains. Wear resistance: Auto forgings are usually used for moving parts, such as crankshafts, connecting rods, etc., which withstand greater friction and impact forces during high-speed movement. Due to its excellent wear resistance, it can ensure the long-term reliable operation of the car. Process complexity: Because automotive forgings need to meet the precise shape and size requirements, they need to go through multiple processes for precision forging and subsequent processing. This requires highly skilled operating techniques and strict process control to ensure the quality of the final product. Importance: As one of the important components of automobile parts, automobile forgings play a crucial role in the performance and safety of the entire automobile. Some key components such as crankshaft, connecting rod, shock absorber, etc. are manufactured by forging process, their quality is not only directly related to the reliability and service life of the car, but also closely related to driving safety. The production process of automobile forgings generally includes the following steps: Material preparation: Select the appropriate metal materials, generally commonly used iron, steel, aluminum alloy and so on. Heating: The selected metal material is heated to its plastic deformation temperature to improve its plastic deformation performance. Forging forming: The preheated metal material is placed in the mold and pressure is applied to make it undergo controlled plastic deformation, and finally obtain the desired shape and size of the forging. Follow-up processing: Waste heat treatment, surface treatment, mechanical processing and other processes are carried out on the forging to ensure that the forging reaches the required accuracy and performance requirements. Inspection and quality control: Strict quality control and inspection of forgings through non-destructive inspection, dimensional inspection and mechanical property testing to ensure that they meet the requirements of technical specifications and standards. In summary, as an indispensable part of automobile manufacturing, automobile forgings have the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance, complex process, etc., and need to go through multiple processes for precision machining and quality control to ensure its high quality and high performance requirements. Only through a refined manufacturing process and a high level of technical requirements, can we produce high-quality forging products that meet the development needs of the automotive industry.
