The technical difficulties of automobile forging in the production process

With the rapid development of automobile industry, automobile forging as an important part of automobile manufacturing, its production process is facing a series of technical difficulties. These difficulties are not only related to the quality and performance of forging parts, but also directly affect the safety and reliability of the vehicle. This paper will analyze the technical difficulties of automobile forging in the production process in detail, in order to provide useful reference for relevant practitioners.
First, high precision forming
Automotive forgings need to meet the requirements of high-precision forming to ensure an accurate fit with other parts of the car. In the production process, how to control the shape, size and tolerance of forging is an important technical difficulty. The process parameters such as temperature, pressure and die design have great influence on the forging accuracy and need to be controlled accurately. In addition, for some complex forging shapes, how to achieve uniform metal flow and accurate mold filling is also a challenge.

2. Material control and organization optimization
   The material of automobile forgings directly affects its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and fatigue life. In the production process, how to achieve accurate chemical composition control and optimize organizational structure is the key technical difficulties. This involves many factors such as the reasonable selection of raw materials, the mastery of smelting technology, and the control of heat treatment process. At the same time, for some special purpose forgings, such as high strength, high toughness or corrosion resistance requirements, its material control and organizational optimization is more difficult.
3. Reduce defects and improve quality
   Defects in the interior or surface of automobile forgings may have a serious impact on their performance and even cause safety accidents. Therefore, how to reduce the cracks, holes, inclusions and other defects inside the forging, improve its internal quality and surface integrity is a major technical difficulty in the production process. This requires strict control of the quality of raw materials, optimization of the forming process, the use of advanced testing technology and other measures to ensure the high quality of forgings.
4. Production efficiency and cost control
   The production of automobile forgings needs to meet the requirements of large-scale and efficient, in order to adapt to the rapid manufacturing and market competition of the automobile industry. How to improve production efficiency and reduce costs under the premise of ensuring quality is another important challenge in the production process. This requires continuous improvement of the production process, the introduction of advanced automation and intelligent equipment, optimization of production processes and other measures to achieve.
   Environmental protection and sustainable development
   With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, the production process of automobile forgings is also facing the requirements of environmental protection and sustainable development. How to achieve green production and reduce environmental pollution and resource consumption in the production process is an important technical difficulty in the current and future automobile forging production. This requires the active use of environmentally friendly materials, optimize energy use, reduce waste emissions and other measures to achieve sustainable development of automotive forgings.
   To sum up, automobile forging is faced with a series of technical difficulties in the production process. In order to overcome these difficulties and improve the quality and performance of forgings, relevant practitioners need to continue to carry out technological innovation and process improvement, strengthen quality control and environmental awareness to meet the evolving needs of the automotive industry. At the same time, the government and enterprises also need to increase support for the production of automobile forgings, promote the research and development and application of related technologies, in order to promote the healthy and sustainable development of the automobile industry.
