1. MANUFACTURING QUALITY: CRITICAL SYSTEMS
1.1 Chassis System (Rough Terrain Optimization)
The SL-IMT-2026 utilizes a monolithic hydroformed ladder frame engineered for high-torque oscillation and dynamic load distribution on unimproved terrain. Key attributes:
| Parameter | Specification | Validation Method |
|---|---|---|
| Frame Material | High-Yield Steel (HSLA) ASTM A1011 GR50 | Tensile Test (ASTM A370) |
| Yield Strength | ≥ 550 MPa | 3-point bend test (per batch) |
| Frame Cross-Section | Double-boxed, 8.5mm wall thickness | Ultrasonic thickness mapping |
| Torsional Rigidity | 18,500 Nm/deg | Dynamic load simulation (FEA) |
| Articulation Tolerance | ±18° (no permanent deformation) | 50,000-cycle fatigue test |
| Skid Plate Protection | AR400 steel, 10mm thickness (full undercarriage) | Impact test (SAE J2027) |
Design Rationale: Hydroforming eliminates welded stress points; boxed sections distribute mixer drum oscillation forces (up to 12,000 Nm) without frame twist. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) confirms <0.5mm deflection at 85% GVWR (32,000 kg) on 15° cross-slope.
1.2 Powertrain & Engine Durability
