With the progress of science and technology, new heat treatment technologies continue to emerge, providing more possibilities for forging manufacturing. This paper will discuss the application and advantages of new heat treatment technology in the forging of main and auxiliary connecting rod.
Advantages of new heat treatment technology
Improved material properties: The new heat treatment technology enables more precise control of temperature and time, thereby optimizing the internal structure of the material and improving its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance.
Reduce energy consumption: New heat treatment technologies can use energy more efficiently and reduce energy consumption, in line with the concept of green manufacturing.
Shorten the production cycle: By optimizing the heat treatment process, the new technology can greatly shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency.
Cost reduction: Due to the reduction of energy consumption and the improvement of production efficiency, enterprises can reduce production costs and improve economic efficiency.
Application example of new heat treatment technology
Vacuum heat treatment: Vacuum heat treatment technology can prevent the material from reacting with oxygen in the air during the heating process, preventing oxidation and decarbonization, thus ensuring the finish and performance of the material surface.
Laser heat treatment: Laser heat treatment technology uses high energy laser beam for rapid and local heating of materials, which has the characteristics of fast heating speed, large temperature gradient, small heat affected zone, etc., and can achieve rapid quenching and surface strengthening of materials.
Cryogenic treatment: Cryogenic treatment technology changes the internal structure of the material by cooling it to extremely low temperatures, improving its hardness and wear resistance. This technology can be used to further improve the properties of materials in the manufacture of main and auxiliary connecting rod forgings.
Intelligent heat treatment: Intelligent control and optimization of the heat treatment process using artificial intelligence and big data technology can more accurately control parameters such as temperature, time and cooling rate, so as to achieve efficient and stable production.
