Abstract Scope |
In consideration of developments in electric vehicle production, lightweight materials such as aluminum alloys have been started to use by Automotive Industry to diminish total weight of vehicles. Structural parts of automobiles such as car crash boxes require high impact damping energy and high tensile strength properties. To this end, different alloy compositions for aluminum alloys have been used to improve mechanical properties of metals.
In this study, different aluminum alloys such as 6082 and 6005 has been considered as test materials and finite element (FE) simulations were carried out with FE software. Crash boxes were manufactured with aluminum extrusion production method and subjected compression tests. In order to observe mechanical properties, tensile tests were performed according to extrusion direction. Results of FE simulations have been compared with experimental data. As a result of this study, it has been observed that similar FE results with real-time tests can be obtained. |
