Abstract

Aluminum forging products has been increasingly used in automotive and aerospace industry due to their lightness and strength. Torque Rod is a connection part used for tying of the axle to the chassis frame. In this study, torque rod part from two different aluminum alloys (AA7075 and AA6061) were analyzed by finite element method. Three different initial temperatures of the workpiece; 300, 400 and 500 °C, have been used in simulations. Finally, the load-stroke and effective stress-stroke diagrams were examined according to forging of the mentioned aluminum alloys at different temperatures.
