Design and Development of Ductile Iron V Shape Thrust Rod of Commercial Vehicle
Aiming at the traditional manufacturing process of commercial vehicles V shape thrust rod,which has the problems of complicated processes,long production cycle and high cost.In this paper,the technical scheme of replacing steel with iron is proposed,and the as-cast QT700-6 ductile iron V-shaped thrust rod of commercial vehicle is successfully developed.The V-shape thrust rod of ductile iron adopts H-shape integral structure.Compared with the steel structure thrust rod,the V-shape thrust rod of ductile iron can effectively avoid the generation of internal stress and reduce the weight by 9%.Through finite element static analysis,it was found that the maximum stress of ductile iron V type thrust rod is lower than that of steel structure V type thrust rod under the same working conditions,which verifies the reliability of ductile iron V type thrust rod.The static bench test of the ductile iron V type thrust rod was carried out.Comparing the test results with the simulation results,it was found that there were 7 stress error values within 15%.After completing the longitudinal cyclic loading 200 000 times,the ductile iron V-type thrust rod has no failure problem and meets the requirements of fatigue bench test.
