Analysis Method and Case Study of the Lightweight Design of Automotive Parts and Its Influence on Carbon Emissions

The automobile industry, as a representative in pursuing the goals of “emission peak” and “carbon neutrality”, has made low carbon new industrial practice. With regard to carbon, lightweight design proves be an effective approach reducing emissions from automobiles. Given state research, which existing schemes automobiles seldom consider impact quality on during whole life cycle automobiles, this paper proposes more comprehensive method for emissions. First, finite element was adopted analyze stress, strain safety factors parts based their so identify positions where applicable. Subsequently, scheme designed accordingly. Next, re-applied whose weights had been reduced. In way, feasibility verified. addition, calculating produced by changes mass, manufacturing processes, application recycling after also presented. can used evaluating benefits scheme. To prove method, ZS061750-152101 wheel hub manufactured Anhui Axle Co., Ltd. taken example case analysis. three structures hub, its weight 1.4 kg total. For single are reduced 51.22 altogether. That is say, if were applied all wheels (about 500,000 per year), production, could cut 2.56 × 107 kg, marking favorable emission reduction effect. proposed not only provide insight into other equipment against background but channel process design.
