In the automobile industry, many parts are manufactured by applying aluminum materials to improve fuel efficiency and reduce vehicle weight. In particular, in order to design and manufacture future electric vehicles, the weight reduction of vehicles is receiving more and more challenges. In the case of a suspension part, since it is located in the lower part of the vehicle, it has a great advantage of improving fuel economy due to weight reduction. This paper describes the development stage of a front wheel subframe with a welded structure of aluminum high vacuum die casting method and extrusion method. The result of the aluminum subframe study showed that the weight was reduced by 5.6㎏ and natural frequency was improved by 16㎐ compared with the steel subframe.
