Abstract：
By studying the structure and forming process of the key parts of the gearbox clutch shell of a heavy truck,the important parts of the product were optimized with the help of the finite element analysis software,and the product differences before and after optimization were analyzed by means of X-ray detection,cutting sampling and other different testing methods.The results show that the reasonable product structure can not only improve the design strength and reduce the internal defects of the product,but also meet the requirements of the commercial automobile transmission on the clutch housing,improve the die casting process and reduce the maintenance cost of the mold.
