In order to improve fuel efficiency and drivability, lighter automobiles are increasingly being called for. In particular, suspension parts, including upper and lower arms and knuckles, are receiving wide attention. Aluminum forging, with its high strength and durability, is a promising alternative for such suspension parts since it can result in weight reduction of up to 40 % (compared with conventional steel parts). The high deformability of aluminum forged parts is also highly suitable for maximum safety. A billet casting facility was installed at Kobe Steel's Daian Plant. The full production line, from stock forging to final forging, is characterized by a high recycling rate.
