Precision Forging For Bicycle Industry

Bicycle is a means of transportation commonly used when people go on a short distance trip. It is labor-saving, flexible, convenient and has both environmental protection and sports effects when riding a bicycle. Therefore, it is very popular and loved by people and is widely used.

Bicycle Parts are usually processed by CNC machining or metal forging. CNC is the process of removing material by milling or turning with precision cnc lathe or cnc machining center. The mechanical properties of bicycle parts machined directly by CNC are not good, and complex heat treatment and surface treatment processes are required to achieve ideal mechanical properties, and are usually processed by ordinary CNC.

The produced parts can only guarantee the accuracy of the parts, but not good surface quality, and usually need a polishing process; Metal Forging is a process of casting materials into a designed shape by using high temperature and high pressure. Metal blanks are plastically deformed to obtain blanks and parts with a certain shape, size and intrinsic quality. The precision forging process can produce materials with higher density and make products more resistant to metal fatigue.

Metal Forging Technology can forge the inside and outside of the material at the same time, and the products produced will be significantly stronger than those made by general forging, machinery, and drilling, and can process complex shapes, uniform stress, and good mechanical properties bicycle parts.

The Main Components Of The Bicycle

Among the 25 components of a bicycle, including the frame, tires, pedals, brakes, and chains, the basic components are indispensable.Among them, the frame is the skeleton of the bicycle, which bears the greatest weight of people and goods.According to the working characteristics of each component, it can be roughly divided into guiding system, driving system and braking system:

Guidance System: It is composed of handlebars, front forks, front axles, front wheels and other components. The rider can change the direction of travel and maintain the balance of the vehicle by manipulating the handlebars.
Drive (Transmission Or Walking) System: consists of pedals, center shaft, sprocket, crank, chain, flywheel, rear axle, rear wheel and other components. The pedaling force of people’s feet is driven by the pedals through cranks, sprockets, chains, flywheels, rear axles and other components, so that the bicycle continues to advance.
Braking System: It is composed of brake parts, and the rider can manipulate the brake at any time to slow down and stop the bicycle and ensure driving safety. In addition, for safety and aesthetics, as well as for practicality, it is also equipped with lights, brackets and other components.

Aluminum Forging For Bicycle Parts

Aluminum Forging is a popular manufacturing process for creating high-strength, lightweight bicycle parts such as frames, handlebars, cranksets, and seatposts. Aluminum has properties that make it well-suited for bike parts, such as lightweight,high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and good fatigue resistance.

Aluminum forging produces bike parts that are stronger and more durable than those made through other manufacturing processes. This is because the forging process compacts the aluminum grains, resulting in a stronger, more uniform structure. Aluminum forging allows for precise shaping and sizing of parts, ensuring that each component is produced to exact specifications.

This is essential in the production of bicycle parts, where even small deviations in size or shape can affect performance.Forged aluminum parts have improved fatigue resistance, which means they are less likely to develop cracks or fail under repeated stress. This is particularly important for parts such as cranksets, which are subjected to high stress during use.Overall, the advantages of aluminum forging make it an ideal choice for manufacturing high-performance bicycle parts that are strong, lightweight, and durable.
