Abstract

The disclosure discloses a spinning process of a magnesium alloy wheel hub, which comprises the following steps: step 1, heating a magnesium alloy bar at 350-430° C. and keeping the temperature for 20 minutes; step 2, initially forging and forming on the bar under a forging press, wherein the forging down-pressing speed is 6-15 mm/s; step 3, finally forging and forming on the bar under a forging press, wherein the forging down-pressing speed is 5-8 mm/s; step 4, stress relief annealing on the final forged magnesium alloy blank; step 5, solid dissolving on the annealed magnesium alloy blank; step 6, taking out the solid-dissolved blank and directly spinning by a spinning machine; step 7, heating treatment and aging treatment. The magnesium alloy wheel hub with excellent performance is obtained by the process, and the spinning process and processing efficiency are greatly improved.
