How to ensure the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the control arm forging?

As an important part of automobile suspension system, the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of control arm forging are very important to the performance and safety of the whole suspension system. Therefore, in the process of manufacturing the control arm forging, its dimensional accuracy and appearance quality must be strictly controlled. This article will discuss how to ensure dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of control arm forgings.

First, optimize the forging process

The forging process is one of the key factors affecting the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the control arm forging. Therefore, optimizing forging process is an important means to ensure the quality of forgings. Specifically, the process parameters such as forging temperature, pressure, speed and pressure holding time should be selected to ensure that the metal can fully flow and fill the mold cavity, while avoiding defects such as cracks and pores. In addition, a reasonable mold structure and cavity shape should be designed according to the shape and size requirements of the forging to ensure that the forging can completely fill the mold and get the desired shape.

Second, the use of advanced processing equipment and technology

Processing equipment and technology are also important factors affecting the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of control arm forgings. In order to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the forging, a high-precision CNC machine tool should be used for processing to avoid errors caused by manual operation. In addition, you can also use advanced detection technology, such as laser scanner, coordinate measuring instrument, etc., to accurately detect the size of the forging, timely detection and treatment of size deviation problems. In order to ensure the appearance quality of the forgings, automatic shot blasting equipment can be used to remove the oxide and burr on the surface of the forgings, and shot peening technology can also be used to strengthen the surface of the forgings to improve the surface hardness and corrosion resistance.

Third, establish a sound quality control system

Establishing a perfect quality control system is an important guarantee to ensure the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the control arm forging. In particular, raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products should be comprehensively inspected and tested to ensure that the quality and performance of materials meet the requirements. For all links in the forging process, strict quality control and management should also be carried out to discover and deal with problems in time. In addition, a perfect quality traceability system should be established to trace and manage each batch of products in the production process to ensure the traceability of product quality.

Fourth, strengthen staff training and management

Employees are one of the most important factors in the production activities of enterprises, and the skills and quality of employees directly affect the quality of products. Therefore, in order to ensure the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the control arm forging, it is necessary to strengthen the training and management of employees. To be specific, regular skill training and quality awareness education should be conducted for employees to improve their skill level and quality awareness. At the same time, we should also establish a sound incentive mechanism and assessment mechanism for employees to stimulate their enthusiasm and responsibility.

5. Continuous improvement and innovation

Continuous improvement and innovation is one of the important means to ensure the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the control arm forging. Specifically, the problems in the production process should be deeply analyzed and summarized to find the root of the problems and take improvement measures. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the development of new technologies and new processes, and actively introduce and apply new technologies and new processes to improve production efficiency and product quality. In addition, we should strengthen communication and cooperation with suppliers and customers, understand the market demand and customer feedback, and timely adjust the product structure and production process.

In short, to ensure the dimensional accuracy and appearance quality of the control arm forging needs to start from many aspects, including optimizing the forging process, adopting advanced processing equipment and technology, establishing a sound quality control system, strengthening staff training and management, and continuous improvement and innovation. Only comprehensive consideration and effective measures can ensure the production of high quality control arm forgings and meet the market demand.
