Characteristics of automotive aluminum alloy wheels

11 Feb.,2025

Automotive aluminum alloy wheel casting technology has been widely used in recent years. The application principles, types, casting processes and application advantages of this technology are now described in more detail in order to better understand this technology and promote technological development.

 

The characteristics of automobile aluminum alloy wheels can be described in detail from two aspects.

First, the advantages: aluminum alloy wheels are light in weight, which can reduce automobile energy consumption and reduce environmental pollution during driving; aluminum alloy wheels have weak thermal conductivity and will not Due to the heat generation and heat conduction of automobile braking, tire blowouts occur, which reduces the possibility of safety accidents; aluminum alloy wheels can further reduce the impact of automobile vibration and buffering when matched with radial tires, and improve the overall quality of the automobile. Comfort; the wheel hub made of this material has good fluidity and tension characteristics. After polishing, its appearance is more beautiful, especially with the support of anti-corrosion treatment technology on the surface, the appearance can be maintained for a long time.

The second is the disadvantage: aluminum alloy wheels have lower hardness than steel wheels, and blisters and cracks are prone to occur during production and use, which affects their safety performance; aluminum alloy wheels are more expensive, and if used in tubeless car manufacturing, they are prone to damage. This leads to the problem of insufficient internal energy. Overall, the applicability of aluminum alloy wheels has been enhanced, which is why they are widely used in the current market environment.
