New Applications of Forged Aluminum Suspension Arms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automobiles are required to be even lighter for further achieving environmental protection through fuel economy improvement, as well as safety feature enhancement and drivability improvement. Automotive suspensions are also required to reduce their weight and thus more aluminum is being adopted. Aluminum forgings, in particular, are often applied because of their significant weight reduction effect along with their high reliability. Kobe Steel develops and manufactures aluminum suspension arms under the ISO/TS16949 management system, including PPAP which involves design analyses, prototype manufacturing and design verification through strength evaluation. This paper introduces Kobe Steel’s activities in the development of forged aluminum suspension parts.

Effect of Solidification Parameters on the Feeding Efficiency of Lm6 Aluminium Alloy Casting
Now a days, significant amount of aluminium alloy are being used to fabricate components such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, suspension control arms, wheels and pistons. In response to consumer demands for the increase in performance, the use of aluminium has grown dramatically in the recent years. So in order to produce a sound LM6 (Al-12%Si) Aluminium alloy casting, a new approach is made ...
متن کاملبررسی توانایی جلبک salina Dunaliellaسویه Utex-200 در زدایش آلومینیوم از محیط
The effect of concentrations 0(control), 250, 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 µM of aluminum on the growth rate and content total chlorophyll of Dunaliella salina strain UTEX-200 has been studied for duration of 27 days. The results indicated that an increase in aluminum concentration resulted in a decrease in the growth rate and chlorophyll content. It seems that these effects are probably due to des...
متن کاملMilling Induced Residual Stresses in Structural Parts out of Forged Aluminum Alloys
Machining operations of aluminum structural parts are typically carried out under high feeds and high cutting speeds. These cutting conditions exert thermal and mechanical loads on the workpiece, which cause changes in the subsurface material. Residual stresses belong to the machining induced changes and can lead to considerable rejection rates as a consequence of part distortion. Due to the si...
متن کاملEvaluation of Forging Strain for Maximum Grain Size in Open-Die Forged 6061 Aluminum
In an effort to maximize grain growth of open-die forged 6061 aluminum alloy parts, samples from three of Weber Metals’s suppliers (Hidal Co-Almex USA Inc., TST Inc., and Vista Metals Corp.; to be called Supplier H, Supplier T, Supplier V respectively) were cut into cylinders with diameters of 0.75 ̋ and heights of 2 ̋, and put through a simulated forging process and heat treatment. It is possibl...
متن کاملEffects of Heat Treatment on Strength and Ductility of Rolled and Forged Aluminum 6063 Alloy
This work examines the effect of heat treatment on tensile strength and ductile responses of rolled and forged AA6063 aluminum alloy. Some cast samples were rolled while some were forged at ambient temperature (32C). The deformed samples were subjected to heat treatment processes. The tensile strengths of rolled (212 MPa) and forged (127 MPa) samples are enhanced at ambient temperature but with...
