Aluminum Suspension Arms
Aluminum Suspension Arms
(OP)
Greetings,
I am searching for an engineer who would have some knowledge of the forging of aluminum suspension arms (Open die forging) for automobiles.
I have found myself in a process/manufacturing engineering position within such a facility and I am having some difficulty with the process itself. The difficulty is primarily comming from the fact that not alot of people are doing it state side (primarily done in india/china/japan).
Any aluminum forging guys out there?

Those have become very popular with Ford and GM for front and rear suspensions. Hard to believe it's all from other shores.

I think the current Corvette still uses this, but I am not sure.
Kobe produces forged arms in Kentucky:
