How's forged aluminum alloy rims are better than casting?
Apr 06, 2022
My country's highways use weight-based tolls, especially after the 9.21 New Deal last year, the total weight of vehicles and goods was uniformly reduced and limited. In order to reduce the self-weight of the body and pull more goods, lightweight began to rise gradually. A card friend, "Khan Huo" chose aluminum alloy wheels for the newly bought trailer to achieve lightweight.
Aluminum alloy VS steel, good cost performance
In terms of weight, each of the traditional steel wheels is about 50 kg, while the aluminum alloy wheels replaced by Kayou Khanhuo are only about 26 kg each, and the weight of a single wheel differs by nearly half. In addition to his newly purchased 6×4 tractor, all ten wheels were replaced with aluminum alloys. Based on the total of 22 wheels in the whole vehicle, the weight was reduced by more than half a ton compared to steel wheels.
Secondly, in actual use, the traditional steel wheels will be deformed if they are used for a long time, or they are often driven on bumpy roads, while the aluminum alloy wheels have high machining accuracy and are much more resistant to deformation than steel rings, which further improves the driving of the vehicle. stability.
In addition, the heat dissipation of aluminum alloy wheels is better than that of steel wheels, and the good heat dissipation performance can effectively reduce the risk of tire blowout caused by overheating of tires. Extend the service life of tires, delay the aging of tires, and ensure driving safety.
