  • Patent number: 8567801
    Abstract: A front-axle bracket for motor vehicles has two accommodations spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal vehicle direction in each instance for the bearing locations for pivoting mounting of one or two wheel guide elements, in each instance, such as transverse control arms or A-arms, accommodations for attachment of the front-axle bracket as a pre-finished unit, together with pre-assembled assemblies, on the vehicle body, and at least individual ones of accommodations for attachment of the steering gear mechanism, for attachment of the stabilizer, and for mounting of a pendulum support. The front-axle bracket is produced as a component that is in one piece with these accommodations and connects them with one another. At least individual ones of the accommodations are integrated into the front-axle bracket by way of rod-shaped connecting elements, in framework-like manner.

  • Publication number: 20100288401
    Abstract: A cast aluminum alloy contains at least five of the following alloy components: 2.5 to 3.3 wt.-% of Si; 0.2 to 0.7 wt.-% of Mg; <0.18 wt.-% of Fe; <0.5 wt.-% of Mn; <0.1 wt.-% of Ti; <0.03 wt.-% of Sr; 0.3 to 1.3 wt.-% of Cr; and <0.1 wt.-% of others, supplemented by Al to add up to 100 wt.-%. The parts cast from the alloy are preferably homogenized by annealing for 1 to 10 hours at 490° C. to 540° C. and tempered for 1 to 10 hours at 150° C. to 200° C. Preferably, the alloy is used for chassis parts in motor vehicles.
