With the continuous development of the motorcycle market and the improvement of consumers’ requirements for vehicle performance, safety and lightweight, the application of aluminum alloy forging technology in the production of motorcycle frames has gradually attracted attention. This paper will introduce the characteristics of aluminum alloy forging technology, and discuss its application and advantages in the production of motorcycle frame.
Aluminum alloy forging technology is a method of obtaining the required parts by heating the aluminum alloy material to a certain temperature, and then applying pressure to the forging press to deform the material and fill the mold shape. The technology has the following characteristics:
High material utilization rate: the forging process can be designed according to the needs of the mold, so that raw materials are fully utilized, reduce waste generation.
Excellent mechanical properties: Aluminum alloy forging parts have the characteristics of fine grain and dense organization, so they have high strength and toughness.
Lightweight: The density of aluminum alloy is small, and the lightweight design of the frame can be achieved through forging technology, thereby reducing the overall weight of the motorcycle and improving fuel economy and handling performance.
