Description

Method for improving forging quality of steering knuckle disc part
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of steering knuckles, in particular to a method for improving forging quality of a steering knuckle disc part.
Background
The knuckle is also called a claw, and is one of important parts on an automobile steering axle, and the knuckle has the functions of bearing the front load of the automobile, supporting and driving the front wheel to rotate around a main pin so as to steer the automobile. In a state where the automobile is running, it is subjected to various impact loads, and therefore, it is required to have high strength. The steering knuckle is fork-shaped and mainly comprises a rod part, a flange plate and a fork part, wherein the rod part is a round platform shaft or a stepped shaft, the fork part comprises a long lug and a short lug, the long lug and the short lug are provided with coaxial main pin holes, and claw parts are further designed at two ends of the flange plate of the NP-series steering knuckle.
At present, the knuckle obtained by processing and forming in the prior art is easy to crack in the claw part, especially in a single claw, in the post heat treatment process, so that the quality and performance of the knuckle are reduced, and the rejection rate of products is improved. The research and detection of the company show that the metal streamline at the cracking position of the claw part extends relatively short, and the main reason of the cracking is that in the forming process, no redundant metal flows forward in the claw part, the flow speed of the flash metal at the two sides of the claw part is larger than that of the metal in the cavity, and finally the flash metal flows into the cavity and merges with the metal in the cavity, so that the blank forms cracks in the later heat treatment.

The technical scheme adopted for solving the technical problems is as follows: heating raw materials, preparing blanks, extruding the blanks, pre-forging and finish-forging to form forgings, wherein the blanks are preliminarily extruded to form a rod part, a disc part, lugs and claw parts, redundant metal of the disc part is extruded to the lugs, the rod part and the claw parts during pre-forging, so that the forgings after pre-forging are formed, compared with a pre-forging cavity, the lug height of an extrusion cavity is 0.8-0.9 times of the lug height of the pre-forging cavity, metal fills the lug of the extrusion cavity and flows to the claw parts, the extending speed of the metal along the extrusion cavity to the claw parts is always greater than the extending speed of flash edges along the extending direction, the thickness of the disc part of the extrusion cavity is 1.2-1.5 times of the thickness of the disc part of the pre-forging cavity, and the thickness of the disc part of the extrusion cavity is gradually reduced from the rod part to the claw parts.
Further, the raw material is round steel, and is heated to 1180+/-30 ℃, and then is drawn or upset to obtain a blank.
Further, the radius of the transition fillet between the disc part and the lug part in the extrusion cavity is 20-35 mm, and the radius of the transition fillet between the disc part and the lug part in the pre-forging cavity is 20mm.
Further, the taper of the lug in the extrusion cavity is 12-15 degrees, and the taper of the lug in the pre-forging cavity is 6-8 degrees.
Further, the claw part comprises a single claw and a double claw, wherein the single claw is positioned on one side of the long lug, and the double claw is positioned on one side of the short lug.
Further, the width of the single claw in the extrusion cavity is smaller than that of the single claw in the pre-forging cavity, the width of the middle part of the single claw in the extrusion cavity is unchanged, and the width of the single claw in the pre-forging cavity is gradually reduced from the root part to the end part.
Further, during the pre-forging, the top of the ear part of the pre-forging cavity is smaller than the top of the ear part of the extruded blank by 1-3 mm, and the root of the ear part of the pre-forging cavity is larger than the root of the ear part of the extruded blank by 2-4 mm.
The beneficial effects of the invention are as follows: compared with the prior art, the method and the device have the advantages that the height of the lug part of the extrusion cavity is reduced during extrusion, namely, the height of the lug part of the blank after extrusion is reduced, the filling of the claw part during extrusion is preferentially ensured, enough metal materials in the claw part cavity during extrusion flow towards the tail end of the claw part cavity, the extension length of a metal streamline at a single claw part is increased, and the phenomenon that the claw part is cracked in the subsequent heat treatment process is avoided.
