The Forming Process Simulation of Magnesium Alloy Control Arm of Automobile and its Mold Design

Abstract:

Taking the control arm of automobile as subject, this thesis discusses the mold design with the squeeze casting forming technology and the simulation of magnesium alloy control arm of automobile in the isothermal forming process using finite element analysis software DEFORM. From the simulation, obtains the data of stress, the distribution of stress and temperature in the forming process, concluding that the best condition of forming 6061 control arm of automobile is under the temperature 400 , and rate 3 mm/s.
