Forming Technology and Microstructure Distribution of Automobile Oil Pump Shaft by Extruded Cross Wedge Rolling
Abstract In order to improve the material utilization ratio of automobile oil pump shaft, the extrusion wedge cross rolling process was developed to form automobile oil pump shaft, the results show that the volume of the blank head produced by extrusion cross wedge rolling is reduced by about 75% compared with that produced by traditional cross wedge rolling, and the material utilization ratio can be increased to about 95%. The microstructure distribution of automobile oil pump shaft formed by this process was studied systematically by fem simulation and experiment, get the forming process can make the grain size of oil pump shaft rolling parts refine continuously, and finally obtain fine and uniform grain structure. The average grain size measured by the experiment is in good agreement with the simulation results. The research results lay a theoretical foundation for reducing oil pump cost and improving life.
