The Present Situation of Lightweight Technology and Its Application and Thinking in Agricultural Equipment

Abstract

The implementation of lightweight technology is of great significance to save energy, reduce pollution and achieve sustainable development. Lightweight technology mainly includes the use of lightweight materials, such as high strength steel, magnesium alloy, aluminum alloy, engineering plastics, composite materials), advanced production technology, such as laser tailor-welded plate technology, hydraulic forming technology, high strength steel red-hot forming technology), structural optimization, such as optimizing structure design, the optimal topology design, shape optimization) in three aspects. This paper summarizes the application of lightweight technology in order to provide reference for the future development of lightweight technology of agricultural machinery in China.
