    In order to ensure the dimensional accuracy of the outer belt weather-strip, reduce the extrusion production defects and ensure the stability of the outer belt weather-strip installation on the door, the shape of the metal insert and the forming accuracy are particularly important. In this paper, the roll forming process of a kind of asymmetric metal insert section is studied, the cross-section structure is simulated and analyzed by CAE method, and the metal insert structure is optimized and the structure of the existing roll-forming tooling is optimized without affecting the performance, thus solving the defects of material crossing and grinding in the production of a kind of asymmetric section products. Based on this, multiple sets of roll-forming tooling are developed, which effectively improves the production quality of auto parts.

    In order to reduce rubber cost of high-speed oil seals for automobiles, performance requirements for rubber materials used in high-speed oil seals are determined according to the application locations and operation conditions. The acrylic rubber formula is analyzed and designed from the aspects of raw rubber selection, reinforcement system, vulcanization system, aging system, wear resistance system, and processing system. Finally, the acrylic rubber formula for high-speed oil seals in automobiles is developed. The test shows that the developed acrylic rubber fully meets the performance requirements of rubber materials for high-speed oil seals, and can replace the expensive fluororubber material for large-scale application in automotive high-speed oil seals.

    In order to determine the assembly scheme of permanent magnet synchronous motor assembly for new energy vehicle, this paper compares the front magnetized rotor with rear magnetized rotor. The study shows that the magnetic flux of the front magnetization scheme is higher than that of the rear magnetization scheme, and its peak value external characteristics, comparison in the controlled variable motor test is less than 2%, which meets the requirements of power performance indicators, and the efficiency indicators of the two schemes are the same.Moreover, the rear magnetization scheme does not affect product performance, it is the best choice for the rotor assembly magnetization process for good assembly process, high yield, and low equipment maintenance cost.

    This paper analyzes the effects of Sr elements and different heat treatment states on the microstructure, eutectic silicon morphology, mechanical properties, and fracture mode of Al-Si-Mg alloy. The paper also proposes a way to improve the plasticity of Al Si Mg cast alloys by regulating the morphology of eutectic silicon and reducing the number and sizes of hard and brittle phases such as Al (Fe, Mn) Si. The results show that, after Sr modification, the straight sheet eutectic silicon is transformed into fine feather shaped eutectic silicon, the elongation of the aluminum alloy increases by 137% compared to unmodified, while the alloy strength doesn’t improve significantly. After heat treatment, eutectic silicon undergoes melting and spheroidization, changing the fracture mode and mechanical properties of the aluminum alloy. After artificial aging and solid solution treatment, the yield strength and the elongation of the aluminum alloy increase by 73% and 97% respectively compared to the cast state. The quenching temperatures have a significant impact on the mechanical properties of the 2# alloy by T6 treated. When the quenching temperature is 530 ℃, after artificial aging treatment, the tensile and yield strength of the aluminum alloy are increased by 14% and 100% respectively compared to the cast state, and the elongation remains unchanged, demonstrating superior comprehensive mechanical properties.
