Upper Metal
描述
Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Double Head): One-Piece Suspension Connector
This double-head forged aluminum upper metal is a suspension connector made of a larger and a smaller round head joined by a neck. The face of the larger head has a slot that can be machined into a pin bore or clamping slot, while the smaller head connects to the shock or linkage. The compact double-head form carries reciprocating shock loads in a small space.
The neck between the heads has the largest change in section. Al Forge Tech (AFT) hot forges the part so grain flow runs continuously through both heads and the neck, avoiding a cut flow line at the neck as in machined parts. After in-house T6 heat treatment, the pin bore, slot and mating faces are CNC-machined, with anodizing available. AFT’s suspension work spans automotive, motorcycle, recreational vehicle and bicycle shock systems.
主要功能
- Two heads and neck forged in one piece with continuous grain flow
- Face slot machinable as a pin bore or clamping slot

Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Double Head) 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
How is strength ensured at the neck of a double-head part?
The neck is where the section narrows between the two heads and where stress concentrates under load. Forging carries grain flow continuously from the large head through the neck into the small head, rather than cutting it as machining would. At the DFM stage AFT also recommends neck radii to reduce stress concentration, and T6 heat treatment raises material strength.
Can suspension parts be delivered as forged blanks for customer machining?
Yes. AFT can deliver heat-treated forged blanks, semi-finished parts or fully CNC-machined and finished parts as required. If you machine in-house, please specify machining allowances and datums on the drawing; AFT will provide matching locating datums on the forging for your downstream machining.
How does a forged aluminum Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Double Head) 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 (Double Head) under repeated loads, forging balances strength and weight; the final choice still depends on design loads and volume.
Can Al Forge Tech supply the Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Double Head) from forging through machining?
Yes. Forging, heat treatment, CNC machining, surface finishing and inspection are integrated in one facility: 52 CNC machining centers (40 four-axis and 12 4.5-axis), 30 lathes (14 with robotic loading), plus broaching, burnishing and centerless grinding. The Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Double Head) can be delivered as a forged blank, semi-finished or fully machined part.
How do you keep the Forged Aluminum Shock Upper Mount (Double Head) 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 (Double Head) stable across lots.
