Abstract
Process design is carried out for a press forming of a CTBA in the rear suspension assembly based on the result of the finite element analysis. The analysis simulates the two-stage stamping process with the initial design and it fully reveals the unfavorable mechanism which develops inferiorities during forming. In this paper, a new design guideline is proposed to modify the process and tool shapes for a single-stage forming process. With the improved tool design, prototypes are fabricated after several try-out processes. Results of the durability tests show that the design requirement of the part is satisfied and the effective weight reduction is achieved.
