Detailed description of the invention
As shown in Figures 1 to 4, the embodiment of the present invention provides a kind of titanium alloy bicycle front fork method for welding, including following
Step:
S1, common welding are difficult to alloy complex cavity part, and therefore complicated titanium alloy front fork shoulder uses
Titanium alloy precise-investment casting method manufactures.First it is made model by waxed, wraps up in the refractory materials such as several layers of clay in its appearance, add
Heat makes wax be melted out, thus obtains the empty formwork formed by refractory material, then pours sky formwork into after titanium alloy material fusing
In, after titanium alloy cools down, refractory material is broken into pieces and obtain titanium alloy casting.So final production go out complex-shaped, size is smart
Really, corner angle are clear, the titanium alloy front fork shoulder of surface smoothing.
S2, titanium alloy front fork tube rely on titanium alloy thin wall pipe material progressively to be processed, due to titanium by multiple working procedure
Alloy strength is big, and rebound degree is high, causes titanium alloy thin-walled tube material to be difficult to as shape tube, therefore want multistep working procedure processing and
Become.First titanium alloy pipe material pipe typically has stress, wants vacuum heat to eliminate stress before doing molding.Then titanium is closed
Gold pipe bores into suitable diameter, again after vacuum heat and then use the way of shaped by fluid pressure progressively to make fairshaped
Front fork cast.Shaped by fluid pressure is to control its shape, inner side topping up force feed with shell titanium alloy front fork tube mould, passes through hydraulic oil pressure
