Process and Property of Superplastic Mould Forged AZ80 Wheel Hub

Article Preview

Abstract:

Automobile wheel hub of Mg alloy with single-step extrusion-forging process was developed, and the microstructure and mechanical properties after heat treatment were investigated. The forged hubs have a hub wall of as thin as 3mm, and 4-7kg lighter than that of Al alloy wheel hub with a same size and design of each wheel hub, that would lead remarkable reduction of fuel consumption. The tensile strength larger than 308 MPa, good corrosion fatigue and impacting resistance sampled from the hubs obtained.
