Core Product: Magnesium Alloy Casting Motorcycle Parts
Our magnesium alloy casting motorcycle parts adhere to the core formula of "Product Name + Core Function + Technical Advantage + Application Scenario + Quality Assurance". As critical components for motorcycle operation, these parts mainly include engine brackets, wheel hubs, frame components, steering knuckles, and gearbox housings. Their core functions are to reduce the overall weight of the motorcycle, enhance driving stability and maneuverability, and improve wear resistance and service life under high-speed and harsh working conditions.
Leveraging 10+ years of magnesium alloy casting experience, our parts fully exploit the material's advantages: 35% lighter than aluminum alloy parts, which significantly reduces the motorcycle's fuel consumption (for fuel-powered motorcycles) or extends battery life (for electric motorcycles); tensile strength up to 250MPa, ensuring sufficient load-bearing capacity; and excellent thermal conductivity, effectively dissipating heat generated during engine operation. These parts are widely applicable to street bikes, off-road motorcycles, cruising motorcycles, and electric motorcycles, all complying with international industry standards such as ASTM and ISO, and are backed by strict quality assurance.
Detailed Production Process of Magnesium Alloy Casting Motorcycle Parts
To ensure the precision and stability of motorcycle parts, we adopt a standardized and visualized production process with 8 key steps, implementing strict quality control at each stage. Magnesium alloy casting is the core process, supplemented by other supporting processes to meet the comprehensive production needs of motorcycle parts:
1. Core Process: Magnesium Alloy Casting (Detailed Steps)
1. Raw Material Inspection & Preparation: Select high-purity magnesium alloy ingots (AZ91D, AM60B, ZK60A, etc.) that meet ASTM B94 standards. Use spectral analysis equipment to conduct 100% incoming inspection of raw materials, detecting chemical composition and purity to eliminate inferior materials that may affect product performance.
2. Magnesium Alloy Melting: Put qualified ingots into a professional resistance melting furnace, heating to 650-700℃ under the protection of SF6+CO2 mixed gas to prevent oxidation and combustion of magnesium alloy. During the melting process, we use rotary degassing technology to remove gas and impurities in the molten metal, ensuring the cleanliness of the molten metal (impurity content ≤ 0.005%).
3. Mold Design & Preheating: According to the structural characteristics of motorcycle parts (such as complex curved surfaces of frame components), design precision molds using CAD/CAM technology. Before casting, preheat the mold to 180-220℃ to avoid cold shut defects caused by excessive temperature difference between the molten metal and the mold, and ensure uniform filling of the molten metal.
4. Pressure Casting Molding: For high-precision and mass-produced parts (such as engine brackets and wheel hubs), adopt cold-chamber die-casting technology, injecting molten magnesium alloy into the mold at a pressure of 120-150MPa and a speed of 3-5m/s. For large-size or complex-structured parts (such as frame components), use gravity casting technology to ensure full filling of the mold cavity. The casting cycle is precisely controlled between 25-45 seconds according to the part size.
5. Demolding & Trimming: After the molten metal solidifies (12-18 seconds), the mold is opened automatically to take out the casting. Use CNC trimming machines and manual polishing to remove gates, runners, burrs, and flash on the casting, ensuring the initial shape and size of the motorcycle part meet the design requirements.
6. Heat Treatment: Perform T6 heat treatment on the casting to improve its mechanical properties. The process includes solution treatment (415℃ for 4 hours), water quenching, and artificial aging (168℃ for 8 hours). This treatment enhances the tensile strength and hardness of the part, making it suitable for the high-load working environment of motorcycles.
Supporting Production Processes
• Precision Machining: Use 20+ sets of high-precision CNC machining centers to process key surfaces and holes of the parts (such as mounting holes, positioning holes), ensuring dimensional accuracy and geometric tolerance requirements.
• Surface Treatment: Implement customized surface treatment according to customer needs and application scenarios, enhancing corrosion resistance and appearance quality.
• Assembly & Testing: Provide assembly services for assembled motorcycle parts. Conduct comprehensive performance testing, including dimensional inspection, tensile testing, impact testing, and corrosion resistance testing, to ensure product qualification.
