    The document compares the physical properties and costs of different materials: steel, aluminum, carbon fiber, and magnesium. It then introduces forged composite as an alternative material. Forged composite is lighter than steel but cheaper to produce than carbon fiber. It has consistent strength in all directions without the additional complexity of weaving together carbon fibers. Components made from forged composite, such as suspension control arms, can be 30% lighter than identical parts made from aluminum.

    FORGED

    COMPOSITE

    STEEL
    Low cost (less than a
    dollar per pound)
    Very heavy

    CARBON FIBER
    Tough as a diamond, yet
    lighter than steel.
    High cost, time-consuming
    and labor intensive
    process to manufacture in
    large volumes.

    Cheaper to produce

    Suspension control arms


    are 30 percent lighter than
