What material is the wheel hub made


The wheel hub is usually made of three materials: steel, aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy. Steel wheels have low cost, but poor heat dissipation and rust resistance; aluminum alloy wheels are light and can reduce fuel consumption, but the price is higher; magnesium alloy wheels are lighter, but the price is higher. [2]. Aluminum alloy wheel hub is one of the common hub materials, and magnesium alloy wheel hub is a new material. Steel wheels are cheaper but have a shorter service life, while magnesium alloy wheels are more expensive but have a longer service life. In addition, there are three manufacturing methods for wheels: gravity casting, forging and low pressure casting.
