The combinational application research commonly used in construction machinery is to establish a close connection and collaboration between magnesium forgings and other materials to achieve better performance and functionality. The following are some common combinatorial application research directions:
- Combined application of magnesium forgings and steel: Because steel has the characteristics of high strength and wear resistance, it can be combined with magnesium forgings to enhance the bearing capacity and durability of the overall structure. For example, in construction machinery, steel can be used to make parts that bear high loads, while magnesium forgings can be used to reduce overall weight.
- Combined application of magnesium forgings and aluminum: aluminum has high thermal and electrical conductivity, while magnesium has lower density and good rigidity. This combination of applications can provide excellent thermal and thermal performance in construction machinery, while reducing the weight of the whole machine.
- Combined application of magnesium forgings and composite materials: composite materials are usually composed of fiber reinforced materials and matrix materials, with excellent specific strength and specific stiffness. The combination of magnesium forgings and composite materials can achieve lightweight design in construction machinery and improve the strength and stiffness of components.
- Combined application of magnesium forgings and polymer materials: polymer materials have low density, low cost and excellent corrosion resistance. The combination of magnesium forgings and polymer materials can achieve better durability and economy in construction machinery.
These combined application studies aim to give full play to the characteristics of various materials through complementary advantages, while meeting the requirements of construction machinery for strength, durability, weight and cost performance indicators. Researchers usually use material testing, simulation, mechanical analysis and other methods to evaluate and verify the performance of different composite applications, so as to carry out reasonable design and optimization.
