The New Technology of Die Forging of Automotive Connecting Rods from EN AB-71100 Aluminium Alloy Cast Preforms
2023
Overview
This article presents a new technology for forming automotive connecting rod forgings by means of die forging from cast performs from EN AB-71100 (EN AB-AlZn10Si8Mg) aluminum alloy. A premise was made that the production process would be carried out on forging presses. The process of forming connecting rod forgings was analyzed considering different deformation rates related to the type of machine used: a crank press and a screw press. The billet in the form of in-house designed, shaped preforms cast into sand molds with two variants of geometry was used in the process. The numerical analysis of the new process was carried out on the basis of the finite element method using Deform 3D, the simulation software for metal forming. The simulations were conducted in the spatial deformation conditions, considering the full thermomechanical analysis. Based on the simulations, certain important findings concerning the novel process were acquired, including the distribution of stress, deformation, temperatures, cracking criterion and energy parameters. The results of numerical tests confirmed the possibility of producing defect-free forgings of connecting rods from EN AB-71100 aluminum alloy on forging presses by means of the proposed technology. The proposed process of forging using crank and screw presses was verified in the course of tests conducted in industrial conditions. The properly formed connecting rod forgings were subjected to quality tests in terms of their structure and mechanical properties.
