挑战
由于用于硬质合金挤压的模具寿命较短且故障频繁，铝挤压行业一直面临着重大挑战。这些问题直接影响生产力并增加生产成本。汽车、航空航天、铁路、医疗、建筑等行业越来越多地使用铝型材，使情况变得更加复杂。这些应用具有严格的强度和表面质量要求，通常需要使用更新、更硬的合金。事实证明，传统的模具设计实践不足以满足这些新的需求，导致模具的使用寿命较短。作为中国铝加工技术的领导者，丛林集团致力于应对这些挑战并满足国内和国际市场不断增长的需求。
关于客户
丛林集团是中国铝加工行业的领先企业。近年来，铝型材在汽车、航空航天、铁路、医疗、建筑和其他行业的广泛应用中的使用显着增加。这些应用具有严格的强度和表面质量要求，通常需要使用更新、更硬的合金。丛林集团一直处于应对这些挑战并满足国内和国际市场不断增长的需求的最前沿。他们结合了设计理念、制造经验和使用有限元模拟软件的技能，克服了挤压硬合金和新型合金带来的挑战。
解决方案
Conglin Group 采用有限元仿真软件 Altair HyperXtrude 来预测模具性能并进行虚拟模具试模。通过使用 HyperXtrude 分析挤压模具并解释仿真数据，丛林能够准确预测挤压模具的使用寿命。该软件使他们能够识别应力集中的区域及其强度，这是决定模具寿命和生产率的关键因素。根据从软件中获得的见解，丛林能够修改和测试模具设计，以延长其使用寿命并减少模具试验次数。例如，在一个案例中，他们重新设计了一种模具，该模具最初在挤压 10 根钢坯后就破裂，现在甚至在挤压 100 根钢坯后也没有出现故障。这是通过调整设计以克服高水平的应力并引入多个孔口将材料送入模具的不同区域，从而在模具出口处产生平衡的流动来实现的。

Integral Plant Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz and his partner GAZ chose Siemens to be its maintenance partner at a new engine plant in Yaroslavl, Russia. The new plant offers a capacity to manufacture diesel engines for the Russian market, for locally produced Sprinter Classic. In addition to engines for the local market, the Yaroslavl plant will also produce spare parts. Mercedes-Benz Russia and his partner needed a service partner in order to ensure the operation of these lines in a maintenance partnership arrangement. The challenges included coordinating the entire maintenance management operation, in particular inspections, corrective and predictive maintenance activities, and the optimizing spare parts management. Siemens developed a customized maintenance solution that includes all electronic and mechanical maintenance activities (Integral Plant Maintenance).
