ePipe.
There is producer to utilize the pipe opening method that dilates to make axle housing, be about to seamless steel pipe two ends undergauge, the strip of center line cutting vertically through hole in the middle, after the heating with the circular hole of the squeezed bulging of strip through hole to required size, add the weldering corner block after the shaping of bridge packet portion, obtain axle housing after adding postwelding oil cap, stiffening ring after the modifier treatment.Opening dilates the axle housing that method is made, and stock utilization increases, but manufacturing process is more, the energy consumption height, and manufacturing cost is higher, and still there is weld seam in the bridge packet portion.
Have document to propose to make axle housing with hydraulic expansion method, be about to seamless cylindrical steel tube two ends undergauge after the middle part carry out the axle housing semi-finished product that hydraulic expanding-forming directly obtains having additional protecgulum.Make the heavy truck axle housing with hydraulic expansion method, the bridge packet portion of middle profiled-cross-section is difficult to be shaped, the big spalling easily of wall thickness reduction amount during hydraulic expanding-forming, and need to press in the superelevation, need the super-tonnage hydraulic press.
There is document to disclose a kind of automobile axle housing inner high voltage, reducing formation process.Select the seamless steel pipe of certain specification size for use, at first internal high pressure forming is carried out at the middle part, then undergauge is carried out at two ends, at last the intermediate axle packet portion is carried out local inner high voltage shaping, after machined, obtain the axle housing product.At the heavy truck axle housing, in disclosed document, when the first procedure internal high pressure forming, can be shaped and have the axle housing of hemispherical bonnet, this moment, pipe mid portion axis one side was carried out large deformation and opposite side is indeformable, can cause the large deformation part wrinkling because of the axially easy spalling of feed supplement difference, the easy unstability of part that need not be out of shape during actual the shaping; In addition, only to the local shaping of bridge packet portion, the endoporus of back oil cap does not reach bearings mounted required precision during inner high voltage shaping for the second time.In disclosed document, when the first procedure internal high pressure forming, also can be pressed into the axle housing of not being with the hemispherical bonnet, this moment, the pipe mid portion was bordering on even bulging, bulging part fore-and-aft direction is pressed into the plane in the middle of after the inner high voltage shaping, the bridge packet portion welds the back oil cap after cutting former and later two circular holes again, has increased manufacturing process.In disclosed document, the pipe two side portions behind the internal high pressure forming is pipe still, and both ends are circular, inboardly to be rectangle behind the undergauge, and the height and the width of rectangle are all less than the end circular outer diameter, and the diameter reducing process difficulty is big.
There is document to propose to make automobile axle housing with steel pipe swelling pressure manufacturing process, the preform pipe that hydraulic expanding-forming obtains axial symmetry or is bordering on the axial symmetry shape is carried out at the middle part after being about to seamless cylindrical steel tube two ends undergauge, obtain having the axle housing semi-finished product of oil cap and protecgulum behind the spherical crown shape again through press forming, according to the additional protecgulum of technological requirement cutting, obtain automobile axle housing at last.Make the heavy truck axle housing with steel pipe swelling pressure manufacturing process, be shaped during the hydraulic expanding-forming that faces in the time of can solving direct hydraulic expanding-forming in theory difficult, need the bottleneck problem of pressing in the superelevation.In disclosed document, still have the following disadvantages:
(1) the swelling pressure heavy axle housing that is shaped, the initial pipe diameter of selecting for use is big, thickness of pipe wall, adopts common pushing undergauge, and wall thickness increases manyly during the pipe undergauge, causes that mass incremental is big.
(2) at the heavy truck axle housing, the diameter of the inboard pipe in preform pipe both ends greater than press forming after the size of square-section, the front module of press forming mould, back link together with bolting between the module, and will cause before the compacting can't blowing, can not suppress.
(3) press forming rear axle housing pipe fitting, back oil cap inside dimensions does not reach bearings mounted requirement, and is not easy to carry out following process as blank after the excision of the protecgulum of spherical crown shape, causes stock utilization low.
