Steel Wheels

钢铁

Steel wheel is a kind of wheel made of iron and steel, and it is also the earliest used automobile wheel material, which has the characteristics of low price, high strength, good wear resistance and simple processing technology, it is still widely used in all kinds of modern low-end cars and trucks. Its main disadvantages are high quality and poor aesthetics. The main choice of steel wheel materials is carbon steel, ductile iron, other steel materials. Most of the carbon steel wheels are used in general power performance vehicles, its low strength, poor resistance to external forces, brake heat generation of the car heat dissipation performance is limited, it is difficult to process decorative patterns on the surface of carbon steel, but its price is more economical, and it is the first choice for many low-end vehicle wheel materials. Ductile Iron Wheel has better mechanical properties than carbon steel wheel, but it is more difficult to control the shape than carbon steel wheel during processing, so the processing cost is higher and the economy is not good. In recent years, other steel materials such as some alloy steels are used more and more as automobile wheel materials, it has the advantages of higher strength, lighter weight, better heat dissipation, good processing and molding performance, easy to weld and so on, and has been favored by the majority of automobile parts manufacturers.

Processing technology of automobile wheel

The processing technology directly affects the overall performance of automobile wheel and plays an important role in the safety of automobile driving. Therefore, it is of great significance to select wheel processing technology scientifically, control machining error strictly and follow wheel structure and shape parameters for improving the precision and quality of wheel processing.

Main parameters in wheel machining

There are many main parameters in wheel machining, in the processing must pay attention to control the parameters in a reasonable range, otherwise it will affect the structure and performance of the wheel. The main processing parameters are:

1.Wheel Diameter

The bigger the diameter of the wheel, the better the trafficability of the car, and the bigger the flat ratio of the tire, which can improve the driving stability and maneuverability of the car, but the bigger the diameter of the wheel l, the greater the acceleration torque is required, this will increase the fuel consumption of the car.

2.Pitch diameter

Pitch diameter refers to the diameter of the wheel between the central fixing bolts. This parameter is an important factor that affects the controllability and stability of the automobile, so we must scientifically design the pitch circle diameter of the wheel and ensure the processing parameters.

3.Center hole

The center hole refers to the position of the wheel concentric circle and the wheel center, ensuring the accuracy of this parameter plays an important role in the normal installation of the wheel.
