How to optimize the mechanical properties of crankshaft forgings?
Crankshaft forging is the key part of engine, and its mechanical properties have an important effect on the performance and life of engine. Therefore, optimizing the mechanical properties of crankshaft forgings is of great significance. This paper will discuss how to optimize the mechanical properties of crankshaft forgings. Chemical composition: The chemical composition of crankshaft forgings directly affects their mechanical properties. The content of carbon, alloying elements and their content and distribution in alloy steel will affect the mechanical properties. Forging process: Forging process includes heating temperature, deformation degree, cooling speed, etc. These factors will affect the mechanical properties of crankshaft forgings. Cooling method: The cooling method will also affect the mechanical properties of the crankshaft forgings. Different cooling methods…
