In this paper, the fatigue fracture characteristics and influencing factors of motorcycle magnesium alloy forgings are investigated, and corresponding improvement measures are proposed.
- Evaluation of fatigue fracture characteristics:
The evaluation of fatigue fracture characteristics of motorcycle magnesium alloy forgings is to analyze the life and reliability of materials under cyclic loading. The following are some commonly used methods for evaluating fatigue fracture characteristics: - Fatigue test: fatigue life and fatigue limit of motorcycle magnesium alloy forgings can be deduced by designing fatigue tests of different load levels and frequencies. Commonly used test methods include tensile compression test, bending test and rotary bending test.
- Calculation of stress concentration coefficient: For magnesium alloy forgings with complex shapes, the stress concentration coefficient is calculated by finite element analysis or empirical formula to determine the stress concentration area, so as to predict the fatigue fracture location.
- Observation of fracture morphology: Observe the fracture morphology of magnesium alloy forgings through a microscope, analyze fracture characteristics, such as intergranular fracture or subgranular fracture, and understand the mechanism of fatigue fracture.
- Influencing factors and improvement measures:
- Material selection: Select magnesium alloy materials with higher strength and better fatigue resistance, such as AZ91, AZ31, etc. Reasonable adjustment of material composition and heat treatment process to improve its strength, hardness and fatigue resistance.
- Surface treatment: Through surface spraying, electrochemical polishing and other treatment methods, eliminate surface defects and stress concentration areas, reduce the risk of fatigue fracture.
- Design optimization: Combined with finite element analysis technology, optimize the shape and geometric size of motorcycle magnesium alloy forgings to reduce stress concentration and stress concentration coefficient.
- Fatigue life prediction: Based on fatigue test results, a fatigue life prediction model is established to predict and evaluate the fatigue life under different working conditions to guide product design and service life determination.
In short, the evaluation of fatigue fracture characteristics of motorcycle magnesium alloy forgings is an important link to ensure the safety and reliability of motorcycle parts. Through reasonable selection of materials, optimization of design and strengthening of fatigue life prediction, the fatigue fracture characteristics of motorcycle magnesium alloy forgings can be improved, their service life can be extended, and the safe operation of motorcycles can be ensured. In practical application, it is suggested to make comprehensive evaluation according to the specific situation, and take corresponding improvement measures to improve the durability and reliability of motorcycle magnesium alloy forging.
