Abstract:
The paper describes the unified approach to the development of the design of the magnesium automotive wheels. It focuses on two subjects: the effect of the wheel geometry on its strength and the effect of the forging die geometry on the loading conditions during the hot forging of the preform of the wheel. The investigation within the scope of the paper has been done on the basis of the finite-element (FE) modelling. It was carried out by means of the FE commercial codes TFLEX Analysis and QFORM-2D. The modelling of the strength of the wheel results in the comparative analysis of the wheels with different geometries in terms of the safety factor by equivalent stress. The FE modelling of the hot forging of the preform of the wheel shows capabilities of the chosen scheme of the combined extrusion-type forging. The relationships between the geometrical parameters of the die and the technological parameters of the forging were established on the basis of numerical simulation.
