ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT
Article history:This study analyzed the amount of displacement of window wipers according to pressure by using finite element analysis (FEA) with KS standards for aluminum alloy window wipers manufactured by die-casting method. The product design was changed over four steps considering the die-casting process to achieve strength greater than that of the conventional steel window wiper. According to the FEA results, the strength of final aluminum alloy window wiper improved by 55% over that of a steel window wiper, and the weight of the former was less by approximately 45%. Therefore, there is the possibility of module downsizing for driving motor capacity. Further, the cost competitiveness improved, and the manufacturing process of aluminum alloy window wipers was simplified. , 비철합금의 적용 [4][5][6] , 제조공법의 변화 [7,8] 등이 지속적으로 이루어 지고 있다 [9][10][11][12] .최근에는 자동차 샤시 뿐만 아니라 부품 경량화를 위해 Al의 적 용이 연구되고 있다.이와 같은 Al의 한계를 극복하기 위하여 자동차 부품에 적용이 가능한 Al-Mg 합금이 개발된 바 있다 [13] . 일반적인 스틸 윈도우 와 이퍼는
