11、sical Requirements. Typical physical properties associated with each alloy grade are shown inAppendix A, Table A1.3.4 Additional Requirements.3.4.1 Microstructural Requirements. The stronger linear fibrous structure in the die forging process helps toimprove the mechanical properties. The aim is to

12、maintain the fibrous structure as much as possible andminimize recrystallized structure.3.4.2 Forging Requirements.3.4.2.1 Forgings furnished shall be of uniform quality and free from surface anomalies such as seams, laps,bursts, lubricants, dust and dirt, and quench cracks, all to an extent that wo

13、uld be detrimental to safe handling,machinability, appearance or performance.3.4.2.2 Cracks and crack-like anomalies are not permitted.3.4.2.3 Any anomalies, plus surface roughness and forging cleanliness may have maximum allowable limitsspecified.3.4.2.4 For any of the above forging requirements, a

14、 measurement system shall be agreed upon betweenpurchaser and supplier.3.4.3 Stress Corrosion Resistance. Stress Corrosion Cracking (SCC) is caused by sustained tensile stressunder some service environments. For example:x Corrosive environment which could result in premature failure of parts along g

15、rain boundaries.x Varying amounts of copper in the alloy influence SCC differently.x Alloys containing higher percentage of copper and silicon in excess of stoichiometric magnesium silicide(Mg2Si) are relatively more prone to SCC. Short transverse direction in forging is more prone to SCC thanothers

16、.x Fine grains minimize SCC. Microstructural differences among various heat treatments in the form of sizeand type of precipitates at the grain boundaries could also be a factor.Hence, alloy percentages in materials, fabricating methodologies, heat treatment methods, loading paths, etc.,shall be car

17、efully selected to minimize SCC so as to meet the durability requirements of components. Stresscorrosion testing may be performed per test method ISO 16455 or ASTM G47.Copyright General Motors Company Provided by IHS under license with General Motors CompanyNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networkin

24、subject to minimumrequirements.4 Manufacturing Process4.1 Forging. Forgings shall be done with closed dies, conventional (flash) die forging or flash-free die forging.Aluminum does not flow readily, even at high pressure, under forging temperatures. As a result, forgings usedin automotive applicatio

25、ns may require multiple hits/dies. A bending or roll forming operation may also beneeded. The dies are usually heated and appropriate lubricants are used for ease of material flow in the dieand release of the part from the die.4.1.1 Starting stock for automotive parts is generally extruded round bar

26、. Other extruded shapes can also beutilized depending upon the part configuration and the number of parts to be produced. The extruded bar isalready fully wrought ensuring that the final forging will have maximum grain refinement and free of anyporosity or residual cast structure. This contributes f

27、or improved mechanical properties.Copyright General Motors Company Provided by IHS under license with General Motors CompanyNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-GM WORLDWIDE ENGINEERING STANDARDS GMW15657 Copyright 2013 General Motors Company All Rights

28、ReservedJune 2013 Page 4 of 74.1.2 Cast stock of continuously cast chilled bars may also be used upon approval by GM MaterialsEngineering. Care must be taken to select the appropriate forge press tonnage since the advantage of orientedgrain flow and dense grain structure with extruded bar is absent

29、with cast stock. Sufficient metal movementduring forging operations is necessary to rearrange cast grain structure for optimum mechanical properties.4.1.3 The billet castings used for extrusion shall be free of anomalies detrimental to forging. The continuouslycast bars forged as cast shall be peele

30、d to remove surface anomalies. All billet castings used for extrusion orcast bars directly used in forgings shall be ultrasonically tested to verify absence of internal cracks. In addition,they are homogenized by heating to appropriate temperature and time to eliminate any segregation of alloyingele

31、ments during the casting process that may impede enhanced mechanical properties. Any deviation from theabove requirements shall be approved by GM Materials Engineering.4.1.4 Parts may require handwork, such as grinding in between forging steps to eliminate surfaceimperfections which could be forged

32、into the part during subsequent forging steps.4.2 Heat Treatment. Forged parts are usually supplied with T6 heat treatment. T6 involves solution heat-treatment, quenching in appropriate media to minimize distortion and precipitation hardening (artificial aging).Some forgings may distort during quenc

33、h. It may be necessary to straighten these parts before the agingcycle. The heat treatment shall be in accordance with practice ASTM B918/B807.Note: Upon approval from GM materials engineering, a separate solution heat-treatment may not be carriedout. Instead, when the part is heated to solution hea

34、t-treatment temperature (analogous to Extrusion PressSolution Heat Treatment for Aluminum Alloys ASTM B807) in the final die forging and quenched without anydelay, it may be accepted. The process must be highly automated and capability shall be proven. Controls areneeded to reject any part automatic

35、ally when the process control settings are out of range.4.3 Cleaning and Inspection.4.3.1 Forgings shall be crack free.4.3.2 To comply with this requirement, 100% fluorescent dye penetrant inspection may be specified.4.3.3 The parts must be etched to perform this inspection.4.3.4 For parts that are

36、not etched for subsequent penetrant inspection, if the cosmetic appearance is an issueon certain applications, appropriate methods shall be used to clean the die lubricant.4.3.5 Parts shall not be ground with a grinding wheel after the final forging step as grinding may smear thesurface anomalies be

Samples of components or materials released to a GM material specificationshall be tested for conformity with the requirements of this material specification and approved by theresponsible Engineering department prior to commencement of delivery of bulk supplies.A ne
