2 Executive Summary The objective of this project was to develop lightweight sheet and forged steel proof-ofconcept front lower control arm (FLCA) designs that achieve equivalent structural performance and function at a reduced cost relative to the baseline forged aluminum FLCA assembly. A current production OEM FLCA assembly was used to establish the baseline for package, performance, mass, and cost. CAE structural optimization methods were used to determine the initial candidate sheet steel and forged designs. Two (2) sheet steel FLCA designs and one (1) forged steel FLCA design were selected and developed to meet all typical performance criteria. An iterative optimization strategy was used to minimize the mass of each design while meeting the specified stiffness, durability, extreme load, and longitudinal buckling strength requirements. In order to achieve sufficient mass reduction with the forged design, an aggressive 3 mm minimum gage manufacturing target was assumed. The manufacturing cost was estimated for the sheet steel designs relative to the baseline design for three production volumes. The costs of the forged design could not be assessed due to insufficient data. The results of the study indicate that a Clamshell Design based on DP780 steel sheet achieves equal mass to the baseline assembly, and up to a 34% reduction in manufacturing cost. The I-beam Design based on DP780 and DP980 sheet, DP780 tube, and HSLA550 was predicted to have a 2% (0.05 kg) mass increase relative to the baseline assembly, and up to a 21% reduction in manufacturing cost. The Forged Design based on AISI 15V24 grade material and the 3 mm minimum gage target was predicted to have a 4% (0.13 kg) mass increase relative to the baseline assembly. All sheet steel designs were deemed manufacturable based on forming simulations, and relevant production application examples. Manufacturing studies are recommended to assess the ability to meet the assumed aggressive minimum forging gage target and to provide a basis for developing the associated manufacturing costs. 2
3 Purpose Lightweight Suspension FLCA (ASP-340) Executive Summary The objective of this project was to develop lightweight sheet and forged steel front lower control arm (FLCA) proof-of-concept designs 1 that achieve equivalent structural performance and function at a reduced cost relative to the baseline forged aluminum FLCA assembly. A current production OEM FLCA assembly (Figure 1) with baseline weight (Figure 2) was used to establish the baseline for package, performance, mass, and cost.

4 Design Targets Lightweight Suspension FLCA (ASP-340) Executive Summary The overall project design targets are illustrated in the schematic shown in Error! Reference source not found.. The objective is to develop minimum mass designs within the packaging constraints that meet the structural performance targets. Corrosion requirements are addressed by appropriate selection of material coatings, which typically do not add significant mass, but can increase cost. Mass and cost are the primary outputs of the study. Cost Reduced vs. the baseline (target 30%) Structural Performance Equal to, or exceed the baseline and OEM requirements Mass Less than, or equal to the baseline Corrosion Meet OEM corrosion requirements Package Meet available packaging constraints Figure 2: FLCA Design Targets Design Optimization Methodology An iterative optimization strategy was used to minimize the mass of each design while meeting the specified structural requirements. A schematic of the overall development strategy is shown in Figure 4. The key elements of the strategy are discussed in the following sections. 4
5 Figure 4: Design Optimization Process Diagram Mass A high-level breakdown of the baseline FLCA assembly mass is shown in Figure 3. The mass is shown for three levels of content. The complete assembly mass of 3.07 kg is used as the overall basis for comparison of all designs. The 1.65 kg mass of the FLCA structure will be used as the basis for cost estimation.. 5

The sheet steel material gage limit is OEM specific, and is assumed to be 2.0 mm for the purpose of this study. For the forged aluminum baseline FLCA, no corrosion coating is required. For the steel components, the following is assumed: Gage > 2.0 mm: E-coat finish required. Gage < 2.0 mm: Hot dipped galvanized coating + E-coat finish required. The specific type of galvanized coating is also OEM specific. Examples of coating specifications include Hot Dip G60/G60 (GI) or Hot Dip Galvanneal A-40 (GA). Cost The project cost reduction target is a 30% reduction relative to the baseline. To assess cost reduction, the manufacturing cost is estimated for each design proposal and compared to the baseline design cost. The project costing assumptions are: Manufacturing cost for the FLCA structure only Production volumes of 30,000, 100,000, and 250,000 vehicles per year 6 year program life 6
7 1. Concept development Initial design concepts were developed based on size and shape optimization of the available design space. Stiffness-based topology optimization methods were used to identify promising concepts using the Optistruct solver [Error! Reference source not found.]. An example of using various constraints to identify potential forged and stamped designs concepts is shown in Figure 6. (a) Application of stiffness constraints and loading conditions forged stamped forged stamped (b) Evolution of optimum volume (c) Final optimized volume Figure 6: Volume Topology Optimization Using Various Draw Constraints Design Proposals The final clamshell, I-beam, and forged design proposals are shown in Figure 4, Figure, and Figure, respectively. Clamshell Design The clamshell design features an upper and lower stamping, a bushing sleeve, a forged T-pin, and a riveted forged ball joint housing. All components are assumed to be MIG welded, and the stampings are butt-welded to maximize the component cross-section. 7

Note that the ball joint housing is supported in double shear via an additional reinforcement. All components are assumed to be MIG welded on one side. 8

11 Materials For the sheet steel FLCA designs, the material grade selection was primarily influenced by the extreme and longitudinal strength load cases. Additional material selection criteria included formability and welding, and availability and cost. A table summarizing the A/SP Team recommended sheet materials is provided in Table 1. For forged FLCA applications, material selection was primarily driven by manufacturing considerations with some minimum strength requirements to meet the longitudinal strength load case. Engineering stress-strain curves for the sheet and forged materials utilized in this study are compared in Figure 10. The yield and ultimate tensile strengths are indicated for each material. 11

13 Material Selection Lightweight Suspension FLCA (ASP-340) Executive Summary The materials were selected for each design based on meeting all of the strength and durability requirements, formability considerations, and A/SP Team recommendations. The resulting material selections and gage are illustrated Figure 5 through Figure 6. The forged aluminum material for the baseline design is called out in Error! Reference source not found.. Based on the results and the corrosion requirements, hot dipped galvanized sheet steel products are recommended for the 1.9 mm thick DP780 stampings in the clamshell design (see Figure 11), and the 1.5 mm thick HSLA550 ball joint reinforcement in the I- beam design (see Figure ). An appropriate E-coat finish is also recommended.

15 Performance Summary The relative structural performance of each design is summarized in Table 2, where the relative performance is defined as the actual performance normalized by the indicated target value. To meet the required level of stiffness, strength, and durability performance, the relative value must be 1.0, while the relative value for permanent set due to extreme loads must be 1.0. The primary and secondary design drivers for each design are identified in the table. The results indicate that the baseline forged aluminum design is primarily stiffness limited, while the forged steel design is mainly buckling limited. The limiting factors for the stamped clamshell design are lateral stiffness and durability. The limiting factor for the I-beam design is primarily durability, followed by permanent set. 15

17 Mass The final FLCA assembly mass results are compared in Figure 14. The results indicate that the mass of clamshell design is equivalent to the 3.07 kg baseline assembly mass, while the I-beam and forged steel designs are 2% (0.05 kg) and 4% (0.13 kg) heavier, respectively. Note that the steel designs benefit from the elimination of the ride bushing bolt and washer, and also a weight-optimized ball joint which was provided to the project by the OEM component supplier.

19 Manufacturing Each design was assessed to ensure manufacturing feasibility. Assessment included a combination of engineering and manufacturing experience, stamping feasibility evaluations, and industry benchmarking. Additional design development was conducted in some cases to meet manufacturing feasibility requirements. Cost Estimates Production costs were estimated for the FLCA arm structure based on the AS/Pprovided project assumptions. All costs are reported relative to a functionally equivalent baseline aluminum forging for comparison purposes. Costing was completed using Multimatic s proprietary production cost estimation methodology. Assumptions The following assumptions were used to estimate the cost of the FLCA arm structure for the baseline aluminum, the clamshell design, and the I-beam design. It was not possible to estimate the costs for the forged steel design due to insufficient data related to the manufacturing feasibility. Material Costs Sheet steel material costs were based on published data for the period of December 2009 through January Aluminum material costs were taken as a representative average. The assumed costs for both un-coated and galvanized materials are summarized in Table 4.

20 Conclusions Lightweight Suspension FLCA (ASP-340) Executive Summary The results of the study support the following conclusions: The Clamshell Design is predicted to have equivalent mass to the baseline assembly with up to a 34% cost reduction potential at a production volume of 250,000 vehicles per year. The design is deemed production feasible based on forming simulations and industry welding examples. The I-beam Design is predicted to have the highest buckling resistance and high stiffness with a 2% (0.05 kg) higher mass than the baseline assembly, with up to a 21% cost reduction potential at a production volume of 250,000 vehicles per year. The design is deemed production feasible based on typical welding process development and industry tube bending examples. The Forged Design is predicted to have the highest stiffness and durability performance (no welds) of all designs with a 4% (0.13 kg) higher mass than the baseline assembly, assuming an aggressive 3 mm minimum gage manufacturing target. It is recommended that the forging industry evaluate the manufacturing feasibility of the current assumptions, propose further design optimization opportunities, and determine the associated manufacturing costs. 20
