The advantages of aluminum alloy wheel hub

The advantages of aluminum alloy wheel hub

1. energy saving
At a same size, each aluminum alloy wheel hub is lighter than a steel wheel hub about 2kg on average, and it almost lighten 10 kg weight if a car use the aluminum alloy wheel hubs. According an study from Japan shows if 5 cars each lighten 1kg, it will totally saving almost 20L gasoline a year. Although the aluminum alloy wheel hub is expensive than the steel wheel hub, the savings in fuel costs will be supplement the excess cost.
2. extend the service life of engine
When the load increase to a certain level, the power will be decreased, and the engine will consume more gasoline. The aluminum alloy wheel hub lighten the load of engine, reduce its malfunction and extend the service life.
3. has a good heat dispersion
The aluminum alloy’s coefficient of heat conduction of is 3 times of steel’s. a wheel hub that has a good heat dispersion keeps an appropriate temperature for tires, it extend the service life of friction sheave and tires, and reduce the chance of flat tire.
4. high accuracy on contour

Aluminum alloy wheel hub has a high accuracy on contour and quality, so the moment of inertia of aluminum alloy wheel hub is better than iron wheel hub, it greatly reduce the shaking phenomenon of steering wheel.
5. sturdy and durable
Aluminum alloy wheel hub has a higher impact resistance and tension stress, it is the reason why aluminum alloy has a wide range of application in defense industry and aviation industry.
6.has a good looking
Aluminum alloy wheel hub has various designs, with the elegant luster and colors, it improve the value and beauty of cars.
