Simulation Analysis of Forging Process of Automobile Aluminum Alloy Swing Arm

Abstract

To effectively shorten product development cycle, cut down the expense and reduce costs, in the production forging process of aluminum alloy swing arm, the technological process of sawing off, high temperature heat treatment, roll forging, blank making, flattening, die forging, residual edge removing and forging inspection are adopted. Taking Deform-3D software as the platform, the forging process of aluminum alloy swing arm is modeled and simulated by finite element method, and the flow law of cold extrusion metal during the forging process of aluminum alloy swing arm is analyzed. The results show that the forging process can achieve a better forming forging, which can provide a theoretical basis for the actual industrial production of forgings.
