Abstract:
Under the background of increasing demand for lightweight, liquid die forging technique with excellent formability has been widely concerned. The lightweight design criteria and key points of lightweight design of equipments are summarized, and the application of liquid die forging aluminum alloy in equipments is introduced. The research progress on liquid die forging technique of aluminum alloy from the aspects of process principle and characteristics, forming materials, forming die and forming equipment is reviewed. Finally, the research and development direction of this technique in the future is put forward.
