For forged components requiring high shock resistance

UACJ provides a variety of aluminum alloy products for forging. Our lineup of aluminum alloys includes products that have the necessary rigidity, high-temperature strength and abrasion resistance for applications such as brake components and power steering.

Features

  • Forged aluminum alloy products can be manufactured with a variety of material types in accordance with their intended use.
  • 6000-type alloys are best suited to automotive uses, being optimal in strength, processability, and resistance to corrosion.
  • GS310 is a high strength alloy developed by improvements made to 6061-T6 for structures and suspension systems.
  • SC100 and SC300 are developed as alloys that excel in abrasion resistance with outstanding forgeability.

Applications

  • Materials for absorbing impact
     Suspension system components such as upper and lower arms
  • Materials with vital strength
    Brackets, propeller shafts
  • Materials that are pressure-resistant and airtight
    Hydraulic components, brake components
  • Materials with abrasion resistance
    Housing for power steering, compressor components
