FAQ

1. Why choose forged aluminum over cast or machined parts for transmission applications?

• Superior Strength: Forging aligns grain structure for 20-30% higher fatigue resistance vs casting

• Weight Savings: 35-50% lighter than steel while maintaining comparable load capacity

• Reliability: Eliminates porosity risks found in cast parts, critical for dynamic loads

2. What alloys do you recommend for high-stress transmission components?

• 7075-T73: Best for extreme loads (570MPa tensile) with good stress-corrosion resistance

• 6061-T6: Cost-effective for moderate loads (310MPa) with excellent machinability

• Custom Alloys: Available for specialized thermal/chemical environments

3. What tolerances can you maintain on forged connecting rods?

• As-Forged: ±0.3mm

• Machined Features: ±0.05mm (standard), ±0.02mm (high-precision)

• Bore/Thread Finishes: Ra 0.8μm achievable for bearing surfaces

4. How do you ensure quality in forged components?

• Process Controls:

  • Pre-forge billet ultrasound testing

  • Die temperature monitoring (±10°C)

  • Strain rate optimization

• Post-Forging Checks:

  • 100% dimensional inspection (CMM)

  • Lot-sample destructive testing

  • Surface crack detection (dye penetrant)

5. Can you produce complex geometries like tapered or hollow rods?

Yes, our capabilities include:

• Multi-directional forging for tapered profiles

• Precision piercing for hollow sections

• Flashless forging for near-net-shape parts

6. What surface treatments improve component lifespan?

• Hard Anodizing (50-70μm): For wear resistance

• Shot Peening: Increases fatigue life by 25-40%

• Dry Film Lubricants: For maintenance-free joints

7. What’s your typical production lead time?

• Prototypes: 2-3 weeks (including tooling)

• Production: 4-6 weeks for first batch (100-1,000pcs)

• High Volume: 8-10 weeks (10,000+ pcs with staggered deliveries)
