Description
In a product design, the procedure of choosing materials is considered the most crucial step, as the reliability of the design depends entirely on the materials chosen after the process. Many factors contribute into the process of choosing the material that would fit for the specific use, and it all starts off by considering the materials that are commonly used for that purpose. After that, a comparison must be done between their mechanical, physical, and electrical properties, chemical composition as well as thermal properties. Another very important aspect to know is the microstructure and the morphology of the material. Because the Chassis is essentially the backbone of the internal combustion engine, it must meet a lot of strict conditions, it also endures a variation of loads from bending loads to torsional loads. Taking this into account the material used for it must have high endurance and many other crucial standards. In this research, the team members are expected to do a comparison between Forged Steel AISI 4340 properties, which is a type of alloyed steel and Aluminum Alloy 7076-T6 properties, so that by the end of this paper, the best material that would make a Chassis must be chosen, and a PSPP map must be made for it.
