PERFECTION OF TECHNOLOGY AND TENDENCIES OF DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTION OF WHEELS FROM LIGHT ALLOYS

Abstract

The technology of the production of disc automobile wheels has now undergone great changes. Previously, wheels were made only of steel. Structurally, they consisted of a rolling rim and the actual stamped disc. These two parts, made separately, were then interconnected by welding ... But technology is constantly evolving, new methods, new types of products are emerging. So there were light alloy wheels. As a rule, they are made from alloys of aluminum or magnesium. Nowadays, light alloys are increasingly used in the automotive industry for the production of parts for cars and trucks, including wheels [1–3]. Wheels from light alloys, depending on the technology of manufacturing wheels are divided into cast, forged (made by hot forging), combined. Aluminum alloys of various grades, rarely magnesium alloys, and even less often titanium alloys are widely used for their production.wheels of cars are established. The proposals for improving the list of methods for assessing the impact strength of alloy wheels of cars depending on their design features are given.
