As a kind of lightweight material, aluminum forgings have been widely used in the automobile manufacturing industry. At present, automobile manufacturers are more and more inclined to use aluminum forgings as manufacturing materials for wheels, which can achieve good performance and appearance, while reducing the load of the vehicle, improving the acceleration capacity and fuel economy of the vehicle, and enhancing the overall competitiveness of the vehicle.
In manufacturing, the manufacturing process of aluminum forgings is very advanced, which can ensure the precision and quality stability of parts. Aluminum forgings have important advantages over other lightweight materials, such as resin, glass fiber, carbon fiber, etc. First, aluminum forging can significantly reduce the overall weight of the part while maintaining high strength and easy assembly. Secondly, the good surface finish and grindability of aluminum forgings can obtain a more beautiful appearance and a more diverse design. Finally, the finished stability of aluminum forgings is also one of the incomparable advantages of other light materials, and the surface hardness of parts is high, the oxidation resistance is strong, and the corrosion resistance is good.
From the application point of view, due to the advantages of replacing traditional alloy steel, aluminum forgings are widely used in wheel rim, wheel hub, door, engine seat and other components, automobile manufacturers gradually pay attention to this special technology to achieve better production efficiency and quality level. Taking the wheels made of die-cast aluminum alloy as an example, the balance wheel and bearings have aluminum forging parts, the surface polishing treatment can increase the internal friction of the engine, prevent the vibration and unnecessary noise when braking, and improve the performance of the car through the hub manufacturing lightweight, perhaps no longer need greater horsepower or engine, improve resource utilization and environmental friendliness.
Therefore, automotive aluminum forgings have many advantages and applications in manufacturing wheel hubs. Its wide application can fully reflect the modern automobile manufacturing concept of energy conservation and environmental protection. With the continuous progress and development of technology, it can be predicted that aluminum forgings will continue to play an important role in the wheel hub field, and bring a broader development space for the automotive industry.
