Steel wheel rims are used to hold tires on the rim around the edge of the wheel. The rim, commonly known as the rim, is the part that mounts the tire around the wheel. When in use, the rim size of the car is very important. It determines which tires the car can fit on.
How are steel wheel rims made?
What are the common steel wheel rims on the market?
What should I pay attention to when using steel wheel rim?
1. Adopting a cylindrical design, the steel wheel rim with a larger diameter is forged with a thicker aluminum material, which is more and more different from the manufacturing method of "raw material" used for the cast aluminum ring hub.
2. Cut the aluminum according to the number of J required by the width of the steel wheel rim.
3. First heat the aluminum ingot to about 400 degrees Celsius, then you can prepare for forging.
4. Hot forging, the higher the tonnage of the forging press, the lower the working temperature of the aluminum ingot, the smaller the grain size and the higher the toughness of the forged product.
5. The temperature of the rough embryo formed by high temperature and high pressure is very high, and the surface is covered with black carbide, which must be handled by a fork machine. The rough embryo after pickling surface treatment already has the prototype of steel wheel rim.
6. After the long-term reprocessing heat treatment of the T4 and T6 heat treatment machines, the grains of the rough embryo will be more compact, and the toughness of the product will also be improved.
7. Forging steel wheel rim must rely on mechanical processing to process the rough blank to steel wheel rim forming, so the work includes bead forming, screw hole drilling, disk turning, detailed processing and other steps.
8. Before painting, the surface of the hub must be checked for defects.
1. The traditional multi-claw steel wheel rim adopts the traditional thin strip five-claw or six-claw design, which is a classic and durable style. This design is very helpful for the heat dissipation efficiency of the braking system. As for some three-claw or four-claw rims, it can help dissipate heat.
2. The radiant-type steel wheel rim adopts a multi-spoke or even branch-like shape design, which feels very sporty. Its balanced and symmetrical hollow space is very helpful for heat dissipation.
3. The coated steel wheel rim uses multiple large-area spokes, which has a luxurious and high-end feel, but it has no effect on the heat dissipation function, and some will have the effect of heat accumulation due to the shape.
The first thing you must check is whether the wheel frame will wear down on the brake cylinder, damping or suspension components. In addition, the oversized steel wheel rim requires ideas, and the bead cannot protrude from the front fender, so as to avoid friction between the tire and the fender when driving or steering, which will damage the tire or even cause dangerous accidents such as tire blowout. Secondly, after exercising for a period of time, it is necessary to regularly check whether the balance lead block and nut are loose or fall off.
