In the 1990s, in order to meet the needs of modern warfare, the lightweight of weapon systems has become the trend of the development of weapons and equipment in various countries around the world. How to reduce the weight of structural parts designed according to the strength index is the key.As an important part of the wheel, it is an important part of how to reduce weight. The weapon systems used in the past were all steel wheels. The steel wheel structure designed according to the strength index is heavy and has low fluidity, so aluminum alloy wheels have become a better choice.

Aluminum alloy wheels produced by non-casting methods and their manufacturing methods reduce the weight of the product and improve mobility. The wheels include aluminum. The weight ratio of the elements in the alloy is aluminum 100, copper 1.4-4.8, magnesium 0.4-2.8, zinc 0.3-7, titanium 0.1-0.15, nickel 0.1-1.5.

The manufacturing of aluminum alloy wheels is controlled within the above composition range, smelted at 670-720℃, filtered with ceramic tubes, heated and insulated before forging, forged, and the molten metal flows evenly around the ingot through the casting funnel during the water cooling process. The forging temperature is 420-460℃, the heat preservation is 3-5 hours, and the heat treatment is carried out in a vertical quenching furnace.

While ensuring the performance indicators of the finished wheels, aluminum alloy wheels greatly reduce the weight of the finished wheels and improve mobility.
