The evolution of alloy wheel
About aluminum alloy wheel
In the 1930s, the German fixed aluminum alloy wheel on car in the first place which laid the foundation of the development of alloy wheel. .after world war two, aluminum alloy wheel had begun to be widely used. In 1958, integrated molten aluminum alloy wheel appeared and soon later wrought aluminum alloy wheel was invented. In the 1980s, micro grid aluminum alloy wheel prevailed for a while. Nowadays, aluminum alloy wheel are becoming lighter and lighter and the design is more and more good-looking.
I don’t know how many people will think of the quality of alloy wheel when they are buying cars, but I do believe that nice cars should be equipped with good quality alloy wheels. Generally speaking, top quality cars use aluminum alloy wheels, while low end or price cars use steel alloy wheels. Of course some cars adopt special designs. For example, the wheels are aluminum alloy, but the spare wheel is steel alloy.
Anyway, aluminum alloy wheel has many advantages over steel alloy wheel in many aspects.
First of all, as the light weight car has become the trend, alloy wheel is used in car making more often than before. So the first advantage of alloy wheel is light weight, which will obviously increase the operation rate and the braking ability of car.
The second advantage of alloy wheel lies in the heat output. The accumulation of heat caused by the friction force between the tire and the ground will damage the tire or worse, make the operation ineffective. But for alloy wheel, such problem doesn’t exist, for the alloy wheel has a higher heat output rate due to the special design and quality. The usage of alloy wheel will avoid brake familiar under high temperature condition and slow down the speed of tire weary, which will make sure safety in car driving.
The third advantage of alloy wheel demonstrated in the Shock resistance ability which decides the placidity and safety of driving. Aluminum alloy wheel is especially excellent in its Shock resistance ability with damping coefficient 60 times of that of the steel alloy wheel, which even makes it possible to drive without tire.

The fourth advantage of aluminum alloy wheel is that it is good-looking. As is known to all, aluminum alloy wheel has various configurations and clear cut designs which make the cleaning work easy to go.
The standard of aluminum alloy wheel includes width, diameter and the shape. For example 4J×12 means the edge inner width of aluminum alloy wheel is 4 inches, the edge height is J grade(17.27mm), and × means the connection method is deep alloy wheel with diameter of 12 inches. Edge height can be divided into J, D, K, E, L etc, among which J is widely used in the aluminum alloy wheel of saloon cars.
Of course, steel alloy wheel has its own advantage in the high rigidity of metal which is suitable to traction engine that are used to driving along bumping roads.
