The difference between aluminum alloy wheels and steel wheels.
Posted by Admin | 09 Jan
1. Different models of application:
In daily life, the wheels of relatively large vehicles such as trucks and trucks are all steel wheels, but most of the current family cars and SUV models use aluminum alloy wheels, because it is more beautiful and looks more beautiful when applied to family cars.
2. Different weight:
Because aluminum alloy is relatively light, its wheel hub is lighter than steel hub.
3. Different hardness:
Due to the advantages of incorporating a large number of metal elements in the manufacturing process of aluminum alloy, it has relatively high hardness, so the aluminum alloy wheel hub can withstand relatively large pressure. Although the hardness of the steel element itself is relatively high, it is still slightly inferior to the hardness of the aluminum alloy wheel hub.
4. The heat dissipation performance is different:
Because the aluminum alloy wheel has the advantage of fast heat dissipation, it can quickly consume the heat generated by the car during braking, prolong the service life of the tire and the braking system, and reduce the chance of wheel blowout. The heat dissipation of steel wheels is not as good as that of aluminum alloys. This is because steel elements dissipate heat slowly, and the heat generated by cars often still exists in the tires.
5. Different fuel consumption:
Due to the relatively light weight of the aluminum alloy wheels, the car does not consume too much power during driving, and the fuel consumption will be reduced during driving. However, the weight of the steel wheel hub is heavy, and the car will use part of the power to resist the driving resistance during driving, which will consume more fuel.
