THIN-WALLED MAGNESIUM DIECAST SHOCK TOWER FOR USE IN A VEHICLE

A shock tower assembly includes a cast shock tower body composed of magnesium or magnesium alloy and at least one steel bridging bracket. An insulating adhesive layer is formed between the tower body and the bracket. A mechanical fastener is used for fastening the tower body to the bracket. One or more structural ribbing are formed on the tower body. The mechanical fastener may be selected from any of several mechanical fasteners, including self-piercing rivets. Alternatively, a screw boss may be formed for receiving a screw. The rivet may be inserted from the bracket into the shock tower body or from the shock tower body into the bracket in which case an insulating layer is positioned between the head of the self-piercing rivet and the cast shock tower body. A sealant is preferably formed along the intersection of the cast shock tower body and the steel bridging bracket. 避震塔组件包括由镁或镁合金构成的铸造避震塔主体和至少个钢桥接支架。绝缘粘合层形成在塔主体和支架之间。机械紧固件用于将塔主体紧固至支架。个或多个结构肋部形成在塔主体上。机械紧固件可选自若干机械紧固件中的任意个，包括自冲铆钉。可选地，螺丝凸台可形成用于容纳螺丝。铆钉可从支架插入避震
