Casting is the literal meaning. The aluminum alloy raw material is heated and melted into a liquid, and then poured into the mold. After cooling and solidification, it becomes a wheel rim. Casting wheels are also divided into low-pressure casting and high-pressure casting. Low pressure casting has low cost and fast production pace, and the original wheelrims are generally low pressure casting. In ...
We know that the characteristics of overall forging (such as BBS, Rays, TWS, OZ and other brands), that is, in the forging process, aluminum ingots do not destroy molecular bonds like casting, and molecular bonds can be preserved to the greatest extent. In the process of forging the spokes, the metal streamlines generated by these microscopic molecular bonds at the macroscopic angle...
The more beautiful the aluminum wheels are, the thinner the spokes are, and the more mysterious the technology is. In the market, high-end cars are generally equipped with novel patterns, and the spokes are simple and delicate, which is very dazzling. Is this the trend? Trend and fashion are pushing the spokes of aluminum alloy wheels to become thinner and more mysterious. What kind of technology ...
Whether it is the original wheelrim or the modified wheelrim, it has quietly undergone very severe tests, mainly including three "levels" including impact test, bending fatigue test and radial fatigue test. All clearances can be put into production and sales. Therefore, the inspection of the wheel rim is a very serious and life-threatening link. So, how do you know if the wheel is qualified o...
1. For beauty: Supercars and performance cars look better than regular cars. The so-called face value is not only the body line, but also the cool big wheels. Wheels that are too small will look petty. 2. For braking performance: The brake discs and calipers of performance cars are larger than those of ordinary cars. So, even if you don't consider the small wheel rim to be unsightly, the smaller s...
When the vehicle is driving on a daily basis, the tires and wheels cannot avoid being bumped. Since most of the wheel rims are made of aluminum alloy, if the vehicle is driving at a high speed, the wheel rim may be damaged by the stones on the road, resulting in a small piece of the wheel rim being dented. The material of aluminum alloy is relatively brittle, and the recessed position ma...
It is necessary to repair the scratches of the brushed wheel rim. As an integral part of the car tire, the wheel rim is very important to support the car and deeply affects the driving safety of the car owner. If the brushed wheel is scratched, the most obvious thing is that it will affect the beauty of the whole car. If the owner does not pay attention to this aspect, it is not necessary to ...
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...
Forging is the process of shaping metal, and is a common practice in a range of manufacturing industries. There are various types of forging, and these are often distinguished by the temperature at which it is conducted. The 3 independent classifications are cold, warm and hot, with the most popular types of metal including iron and steel almost universally forged hot. The process has many advanta...
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...
