The Application of Magnesium Alloy in Automotive Seat Design

Abstract:

Vehicle weight reduction has become the development trend of the automotive industry, lightweight magnesium alloy as the material can be applied to automobile parts to achieve more substantial weight loss results. This paper adopts a car seat frame, refer to the regulations for strength of seat system, finite element software ANSYS, the static strength analysis of magnesium alloy seat frame. And further on carbon steel material for static strength analysis, conclusions and magnesium alloys were compared, from lightweight, economy and other aspects show the superiority of magnesium alloys.
