ABSTRACT

Aiming at the quick release hook of 7055 aluminum alloy, through analyzing the structure of the quick release hook, the forging drawing and die drawing of the parts are designed. The process route of parts forming is designed by empirical method, and the process route is numerically simulated by DEFOEM-3D. The results show that the forging structure is complex, the fluidity of materials is weak, and the flow speed of metal materials is uneven, resulting in defects. Therefore, the process route was optimized according to the defects and verified by finite element simulation. The results showed that the metal flow was reasonable and the defects disappeared, and finally the qualified process route was obtained.
