Upper Metal
描述
Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye): Shock Mounting Seat
This forged aluminum upper metal is the mounting seat at the top of a shock absorber. It consists of a cylindrical body with a round top face and an eye boss offset to the side, which takes a bolt or pin to fix the shock to the frame. The offset layout lets the shock reach a suitable mounting angle in a confined space.
The seat carries repeated axial force from the shock, concentrated where the body meets the offset eye. Al Forge Tech (AFT) hot forges body and eye together so grain flow turns continuously through the junction, then completes the pin bore, threads and mating faces after in-house T6 heat treatment and CNC machining, with anodizing available.
主要功能
- Cylindrical body and offset eye hot forged in one piece
- Offset layout achieves mounting angle in tight spaces
- Pin bore, threads and mating faces CNC-finished
- In-house T6 heat treatment and anodizing

Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) Manufacturing Process
- 繪圖評估與 DFM我們確認合金、載荷方向和關鍵尺寸，然後執行 QForm 模擬，以預測金屬流動和缺陷風險。.
- 設計與製造銑刀組數（例如，阻斷刀和完成刀）視零件的複雜程度而定，銑刀輪廓則使用便攜式3D掃描儀進行檢查。.
- 熱鍛造600T–8,000T 熱鍛造壓 Presses 的閉式成形技術創造出持續的晶粒流，並遵循零件的輪廓。.
- 熱處理T4 溶液處理和 T6 人工老化處理均在廠內進行，參數由合金和強度要求設定。.
- CNC加工 以及完成孔、螺紋和接合面均經過機械加工，然後根據需要進行拋光、振動拋光、噴丸或陽極氧化處理。.
- 檢查與運輸尺寸、硬度及化學成分均通過 CMM、硬度測試儀及分光光度儀進行驗證，且所有批次的產品均遵照 IATF 16949 的標準進行追蹤。.
常見問題
Why is an offset-eye shock mount well suited to forging?
The offset eye makes the part asymmetric; machining it from bar would remove a lot of material to create the offset boss. Forging the offset contour first saves material and lets grain flow follow the turn from body to eye. For a shock mount under repeated loading, continuous grain flow helps fatigue performance.
How does this upper metal differ from AFT’s other shock mounts?
AFT produces several shock upper mount styles: this one has a cylindrical body with a side-offset eye; another has a double-round-head form; and a third is a suspension joint with a flat connecting ear. Each style reflects a different shock design, mounting space and load direction, and can be developed to your drawing.
Is heat treatment for the Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) done in-house?
Yes. Al Forge Tech operates 8 T4 solution treatment units and 7 T6 artificial aging units on site, so the Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) can be solution treated, quenched and aged in the same facility before machining and inspection. Keeping heat treatment in-house removes inter-plant transport, reduces lead-time risk and keeps lot traceability within one quality system. Parameters are set according to the alloy grade and your specification.
How do you keep the Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) consistent from lot to lot?
Al Forge Tech runs incoming (IQC), in-process (IPQC) and final (FQC) inspection under IATF 16949:2016, supported by 4 Zeiss CMMs, hardness testers, a spectrometer and a fluorescent penetrant inspection line. First, middle and last pieces of every lot are checked against the die; when wear causes dimensional drift, the die is reworked to keep the Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) stable across lots.
How does a forged aluminum Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) compare with casting or machining from billet?
Forging shapes aluminum in the solid state under pressure, so the grain flow follows the part contour and the porosity and shrinkage common in castings are avoided. Compared with machining from solid billet, a near-net-shape forging removes less material and shortens machining time. For a Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Offset Eye) under repeated loads, forging balances strength and weight; the final choice still depends on design loads and volume.
