So, it doesn't come as a surprise that many people like to decorate their cars with the many car accessories available in the market. These different car accessories make your car more attractive and stylish. There are many accesso...
Aluminum alloy material is not only lighter than iron, but also harder than iron, so it is perfect for wheel rims. But aluminum alloy is metal after all. High school physics knowledge tells us that metal has ductility, so aluminum alloy wheels will also be out of round. In addition, the high hardness of aluminum alloy makes it difficult to repair by hammering, so it can only be repaired by turning...
The metal forming processes of aluminum-alloy wheel forging at elevated temperatures are analyzed by the finite element method. A coupled thermo-mechanical model for the analysis of plastic deformation and heat transfer is adapted in the finite element formulation. In order to consider the strain-rate effects on material properties and the flow stress dependence on temperatures, the rigid visco-pl...
In the wheel industry, there are two main types of wheels: 3 piece forged andcasting. There are many advantages to each type as well as disadvantages. The main difference betweenthem is the manufacturing processes used to create them. In the forging process, 3 piece wheels begin as high-quality T6-6061 aluminum alloy billets. The billets are then subjected to intense pressure to form the...
Keeping your vehicle takes time, money and patience; however it is completely worth it in the end. There are so many different parts of your vehicle to clean, car for and protect. One part of your vehicle that is very important to care for is your vehicles wheel rims. If your wheel rims are not in good condition not only do they not look good but can be very expensive to replace. Find out ways tha...
Alloy Wheels perform the same function in automobiles as the normal steel ones but they have certain added features that make them different and arguably better. Compared to wheels made of steel, alloy wheels are composed of aluminum or magnesium alloys making them stronger and durable, lighter in weight, better in performance and most importantly, stylish. These wheels are manufactured either by ...
Wheel adapters are widely used in the industrial process. They are usually found in the situations which require a fitting to help to put a wheel on a vehicle. Dating back to the very beginning, the wide bolt pattern has made impossible decorative rims. As a result, this fitting are designed to bring in many benefits. When the wheel is not normally required to be placed on a vehicle, it is wi...
When shopping for nuts make sure they match the thread diameter, pitch and seat of the ones you are replacing. If these aren't the right fit, the new nut may hurt your expensive wheels. They can also ruin the mounting lugs for your vehicle, which is not a cheap proposition. And then there's the fact that improperly secured wheels make your car a potential hazard on the road. The three basic types ...
In many unexpected times, there will be unexpected situations in the finishedrim, which will make the finished defective. At this time, we need to repair the wheels. Most of the wheels on the market are electroplated, so the maintenance of thechromed wheels and the precautions for the maintenance of the wheels are easy to share for you. When repairing arim, the first thing to do is to determi...
Many people think that as long as the wheel hub is bigger, it must be better, after all, it is certain to look good. But there are often disadvantages. The disadvantages will be discussed in a while, let’s talk about how to choose the hub and what craft to choose. At present, there are three mainstream process hubs on the market, low pressure casting, flow forming wheel and forged wheel. This is m...
1. Durable and safer Forged aluminum rings are 1-2 times stronger than cast aluminum rings and 4-5 times stronger than general iron rings, so they are stronger, have better toughness and fatigue resistance, and are safer. 2. Lightweight Forged wheels of the same size can be about 20% lighter in weight, and 1KG lighter on the wheel can increase 10 horsepower. In addition, the lightweight also signi...
1. Heat dissipation requirements: If the car runs for a long time, it will make the car wheel very hot. What’s more, the braking system will also generate a lot of heat. If this heat is not released in time, it will bring a big problem to the driving safety of the car and may cause the tire to burst. The hollow design can increase the contact area between therim spokes and the air, which...
1. Select a suitable cleaning agent. Household cleaners and common detergents on the market are more alkaline or acidic and more corrosive to the wheel surface. To avoid contact with strong chemicals, choose neutral soapy water to wash your wheels. 2. Do not wash the wheels when the temperature is too high. When the temperature of the wheel rim is high, please do not directly wash it with col...
The rim et value means the offset value, which represents the deviation distance between the rim mounting surface and the center line of the rim. The wheel rim et value can be divided into positive and negative offset distance and zero offset distance. When the wheel rim et value is larger in the positive direction, it means that therim mounting surface is inward. The dist...
In life, tires are a very important part of the operation of the car, so where do you need to repair them when there is a problem or damage to the wheel rim of the tire?In fact, this is relatively simple. Usually, you can go to a special repair shop or the 4s shop of the car for a comprehensive overhaul. Before performing repairs, a comprehensive inspection must be carried out to clarify wher...
