Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a light alloy vehicle wheel that has an excellent mechanical property even in a large diameter wheel.
  • a forging method for forging and producing a casting material is well known as one of the methods for producing the light alloy vehicle wheels.
  • a round-bar billet is prepared by semi-continuous casting or the like using a mold having a circular mold outlet port (S11), and the round-bar billet is sliced in rounds to form a cylindrical casting material (S12) .
  • the cylindrical casting material is heated (S13), the heated cylindrical casting material is pressed down from a circular surface side to forge the cylindrical casting material into a disc shape (S14), and the disc-shaped forging product is further forged to complete the forging product into a rough wheel shape having a rim portion and a disc portion (S15).
  • the forging product having the rough wheel shape is subjected to spinning forming to shape the rim portion (S16), and a rim-integrated vehicle wheel is completed through a heat treatment process (S17) and a machining process (S18).
  • the cylindrical casting material is used in the conventional producing method is that the forging process of the cylindrical casting material is simply formed into the cylindrical vehicle wheel.
  • the cylindrical casting material cut from the round-bar billet is generally used in the method for producing the light alloy vehicle wheel by the forging process. Therefore, in order to deal with the current enlargement of the vehicle wheel, the round-bar billet having the large diameter is prepared during the casting, and the cylindrical casting material having the large diameter cut from the round-bar billet is used.
  • the crystal grain size of the metallic structure increases as a cooling rate slows down during the casting process.
  • the cooling rate during the casting process depends on the diameter of the round-bar billet during the forging process, the cooling rate slows down as the diameter increases, and the crystal grain size of the metallic structure increases naturally.
  • the crystal grain size of the metallic structure of the casting material increases, and the crystal grain size of the metallic structure of the finishing wheel also increases, thereby degrading the strength or ductility of the light alloy vehicle wheel.
  • the relatively long, cylindrical casting material is cut from the round-bar billet having the small diameter in which the crystal grain size does not increase, the vehicle wheel having the large diameter is produced by adding an upset forging process in which the long, cylindrical casting material is upset-forged from the circular surface side to enlarge the diameter.
  • the upset forging process is added, when the cylindrical casting material has a large material height, a cover uneven thickness is generated due to buckling and the like to hardly produce the good vehicle wheel.
  • the present invention provides a method for producing a light alloy vehicle wheel having the small crystal grain size of the metallic structure and the excellent mechanical property even in the large diameter of the vehicle wheel.
  • a method for producing a light alloy vehicle wheel in which a casting material is forged to produce a rim-integrated vehicle wheel comprising:
  • a cooling rate of the flat, square billet depends on a thickness (a short-side length in a rectangular section) of the flat, square billet during the casting .
  • the cooling rate depends on a diameter of the round-bar billet during the casting. Accordingly, for the flat, square billet, the cooling rate can considerably be enhanced during the casting compared with the round-bar billet having the diameter corresponding to a long-side length in the rectangular section. Therefore, a crystal grain size of the metallic structure of the flat, square billet formed during the casting can considerably be reduced compared with the round-bar billet having the diameter corresponding to the long-side length in the rectangular section.
  • the flat, square billet is cut into a quadrangular shape perpendicular to a casting direction, thereby obtaining a rectangular casting material that is flat in the casting direction.
  • a flat, quadrangular surface orthogonal to the casting direction is formed in the obtained flat, rectangular casting material, and the quadrangular surface can constitute a broad surface suitable for reduction in the next forging process.
  • the rectangular casting material is pressed down from the quadrangular surface side (the broad surface side orthogonal to the casting direction) to forge the rectangular casting material into the disc shape, which allows the disc-shaped forging product in which the volume is distributed from the rectangular shape into the disc shape to be obtained without increasing the number of forging times and without generating troubles such as the uneven thickness.
  • the disc-shaped forging product is further forged to form the forging product into the rough wheel shape having the disc portion and the rim portion. Therefore, the light alloy vehicle wheel having the small crystal grain size is obtained because the casting material has the small crystal grain size even if the diameter of the vehicle wheel increases.
  • the light alloy vehicle wheel having the small crystal grain size of the metallic structure and the excellent mechanical property can be produced even if the diameter of the vehicle wheel increases.
  • a ratio of a short side and a long side of the mold outlet port is 1:1.5 or more and a short-side length is 200 mm or less in the mold, and the flat, square billet is prepared using the mold.
  • the cooling rate is hardly enhanced to decrease the crystal grain size during the casting.
  • the flat, square billet is prepared using the mold, in which the ratio of the short side and the long side of the mold outlet port is 1:1.5 or more and the short-side length is 200 mm or less
  • the cooling rate is sufficiently enhanced during the casting to successfully finely decrease the crystal grain size of the metallic structure compared with the round-bar billet having the diameter corresponding to the long-side length in the rectangular section.
  • a step of scraping a chill layer by machining the chill layer being formed in a casting surface corresponding to a wheel design surface in the flat rectangular casting material.
  • the cooling rate of the flat, square billet is enhanced during the casting, whereby the chill layer is easily formed in the billet surface by an influence of the cooling.
  • the chill layer possibly degrades strength of the vehicle wheel.
  • the flat, quadrangular surface in the flat, rectangular casting material cut from the flat, square billet is the casting surface, and one of the flat, quadrangular surfaces opposite to each other constitutes the wheel design surface. Accordingly, the chill layer formed in the casting surface corresponding to the wheel design surface in the flat, rectangular casting material is scraped by the machining, which allows a decrease in strength caused by the chill layer to be prevented in the wheel.
  • the mold is formed by a semi-fire-resistant mold to suppress formation of a segregation layer in a surface of the flat, square billet, and therefore surface scraping is eliminated in the casting surface of the flat, rectangular casting material.
  • a segregation layer can be suppressed in a surface of the billet to eliminate surface scraping of the casting surface. Accordingly, the high-yield, cost-reduction wheel can be provided because a material loss caused by the surface scraping is eliminated.
  • a method for producing a light alloy vehicle wheel according to an embodiment of the present invention is a method for hot-forging the casting material to produce the rim-integrated vehicle wheel.
  • the flat, square billet is used as the casting material before the forging.
  • aluminum alloys such as A6061, magnesium alloys, and titanium alloys are used as the light alloy material.
  • the flat, square billet is prepared by continuous casting or semi-continuous casting using a mold whose mold outlet port is formed into a substantially rectangular shape.
  • a DC casting process can be used as the casting process.

  • the molten metal is primary-cooled by thermal conduction to a mold wall to form the ingot.
  • the ingot is shaped into the flat, square shape by a mold shape, and the ingot is discharged through the mold outlet port 11 in the lower portion of the mold by its own weight.
  • the ingot discharged from the mold outlet port 11 of the mold 1 is secondary-cooled (directly water-cooled) by watering of the water spray 3.
  • the whole ingot is solidified by the secondary cooling, thereby obtaining the flat, square billet having a predetermined length.
  • the flat, square billet is cast using the mold 1 whose mold outlet port 11 is formed into the substantially rectangular shape. Therefore, a cooling rate of the flat, square billet depends on a thickness (a short-side length in a rectangular section) of the flat, square billet during the casting .

  • the crystal grain size of the metallic structure of the flat, square billet can more successfully and securely finely be decreased.
  • a semi-fire-resistant mold made of graphite or the like is used as the mold 1. Therefore, a segregation layer can be suppressed in a surface of the billet to eliminate surface scraping of the casting surface. Accordingly, the high-yield, cost-reduction wheel can be provided because a material loss caused by the surface scraping is eliminated.
  • step S2 the flat, square billet is cut into a quadrangular shape perpendicular to a casting direction, thereby obtaining a rectangular casting material that is flat in the casting direction.
  • a flat, quadrangular surface orthogonal to the casting direction is formed in the obtained flat, rectangular casting material, and the quadrangular surface can constitute a broad surface suitable for reduction in the next forging process.

  • the rectangular casting material is subjected to the hot-forging.
  • the flat, rectangular casting material is heated to 450°C to 550°C in a heating furnace.
  • the heated rectangular casting material is set in a primary forging die (die temperature of 150°C to 350°C), and primary forging is performed to form the casting material into a disc shape.

  • the primary forging process is similar to the conventional process of pressing down the cylindrical casting material in the thickness direction to form the casting material into the disc shape, the primary forging process can be performed using the primary forging die similarly to that of the conventional technique. Accordingly, a disc-shaped primary forging product in which a volume is distributed from the rectangular shape into the disc shape can be obtained without increasing the number of forging times and without generating an uneven thickness.
  • step S5 the disc-shaped primary forging product is set in a secondary forging die (die temperature of 150°C to 350°C), and secondary forging is performed to form the primary forging product into a wheel shape having a rim portion and a disc portion.

  • the disc-shaped primary forging product may be set in the finishing forging die to shape the rim portion and the disc portion by one-time forging.
  • the grain size of the metallic structure can more finely be formed in the casting material through the forging process.
  • step S6 the wheel of the forging product is subjected to spinning forming to obtain the shape of the rim portion. Specifically, while the wheel-shaped forging product is rotated, a pressure roller is pressed against the rim portion to shape the rim portion.
  • the spinning forming may be performed in either a hot temperature or a cool temperature (room temperature) .
  • step S7 the post-spinning wheel is subjected to a heat treatment (T6 heat treatment). Specifically, the post-spinning wheel is subjected to a solution heat treatment while heated at a temperature of 500°C to 550°C for 3 to 180 minutes, and then the wheel is subjected to an aging heat treatment while retained at a temperature of 170°C to 220°C for 30 minutes to 6 hours.

Then the disc-shaped primary forging product was subjected to the coarse forging and the finishing forging at the die temperature of 300°C, thereby obtaining the forging product in which the rim portion and the disc portion are shaped.
  • the forging product was subjected to the spinning forming. Then, after the forging product was sequentially subjected to the solution heat treatment at a temperature of 540°C for 5 minutes, water quenching at a substantial temperature of 60°C or less, the aging heat treatment at a temperature of 180°C for 5 hours, the aluminum alloy vehicle wheel was obtained through the machining.
