Aluminium High Pressure Die Casting Application on Rear Frame Rails

Due to the highly competitive environment in automotive industry and environmental restrictions, car manufacturers tend to use higher mechanical properties but better performance in lightweighting instead of traditional structural materials such as steel. Aluminium alloys are a good example of this application since they are 3 times lighter than steel. Aluminium is proposed to use in car body structure design because of its high performance of durability, and in addition with proper geometry and heat treatment the mechanical properties will be also valid for structural parts. Using casting as a process enables to make topology optimization and having more complex shapes that has better strength but less weight with respect to sheet metal stamping.
