With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the intensification of market competition, improving material utilization and reducing production costs have become an important issue in the bicycle manufacturing industry. Extrusion forming technology of bicycle forgings, as an advanced processing method, is particularly outstanding in improving the utilization rate of materials. This paper will introduce the working principle, technical advantages and practical application cases of extrusion forming technology of bicycle forgings in detail, aiming to show the broad application prospect of this technology in bicycle manufacturing industry.
- Bicycle forging extrusion forming technology principle
Extrusion forming technology of bicycle forgings is a kind of processing method using the principle of metal plastic deformation. In the processing process, the metal billet to be processed is placed in the extrusion cylinder, and by applying high pressure and high temperature, the metal billet produces plastic deformation under the action of stress, so as to form the required tubular or shaped parts. After extrusion forming, the utilization rate of metal billet can reach more than 90%, which significantly improves the material utilization rate.
- Advantages of extrusion technology for bicycle forgings
High material utilization rate: Compared with traditional processing methods, extrusion forming technology for bicycle forgings can make better use of metal billets, so that it is close to the finished product in shape to the maximum extent, thereby improving the material utilization rate and reducing the production cost.
High production efficiency: Because extrusion technology adopts efficient high-pressure processing method, the production cycle is greatly shortened, and the production efficiency is significantly improved.
High product quality: The mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy of forgings processed by extrusion forming technology have been significantly improved, and the product quality is more stable.
- Bicycle forging extrusion forming technology practical application cases
A bicycle manufacturer uses bicycle forging extrusion forming technology to process the frame pipe. By putting metal billet into the extrusion cylinder, applying high temperature and high pressure, various special-shaped pipe fittings such as frame and fork are successfully processed. The dimensional accuracy and mechanical properties of the pipe fittings processed by extrusion forming technology have reached the standard requirements, and the material utilization rate has also been significantly improved. In addition, due to the substantial increase in production efficiency, the manufacturer has more advantages in market competition, which effectively promotes the sustainable development of the enterprise.
- Future outlook
With the progress of science and technology and changes in market demand, bicycle forging extrusion technology will be further developed in the following aspects:
Process optimization: In the future, the extrusion forming technology of bicycle forgings will be continuously improved and perfected to improve material utilization and production efficiency and reduce production costs.
New material application: With the continuous development of new material technology, bicycle forging extrusion technology will be applied to more types of metal materials to meet the market demand for high-performance, environmentally friendly bicycles.
