Shock Towers Product: Shock Towers Process: Hi-Q™ Alloy/Heat Treat: Aural2, AuralTherm™ Application:  SUV Shock towers are safety critical components. These components require high elongation, compared to traditional HPDC castings, so that they deform and not break during a crash. The high integrity nature of these components allows for various fasten techniques that include welding and mechanical riveting. These castings replaced seven steel components allowing the reduction of component complexity line-side at the assembly plant.
	Instrument Panel (IP) Product: Instrument Panel (IP) Process: Hi-Q™ Alloy/Heat Treat:  Aural2 Application: SUV Instrument Panel components require high elongation, compared to traditional HPDC castings, so that they deform and not break during a crash. With the use of the Hi-Q™ casting system these components can meet the stringent customer requirements for material properties.
	Roof Headers Product: Roof Headers Process:  HPDC Alloy/Heat Treat:  AZ91D Application: Compact convertible The Roof Header is the frame for a convertible rooftop. These components must be lightweight to allow the vehicle operator to easily install and retract the rooftop. They also must be strong to withstand the operating conditions of a roof while maintaining a class “A” finish. Secondary operations include machining and coating.
	Roof Frame Product: Roof Frame Process:  HPDC Alloy/Heat Treat:  AZ91D Application:  Compact Targa Top The Roof Frame is the frame for a targa lift off panel. These components must be lightweight to allow the vehicle operator to easily install and retract remove the targa rooftop. They also must be strong to withstand the operating conditions of a roof while maintaining a class “A” finish. Secondary operations include machining and coating.
