Forged Aluminum Wheel Hub Firstly Applied to Domestic Bus

At the 8th CHINA TRANSPO in 2006, zk6128hb Yutong Bus assembled the forged aluminum wheels,which was the first time for it to apply in the domestic bus brand.

Compared with steel wheels or casting aluminum wheels which is widely used in domestic commercial vehicles, the advantages of forged wheels are obvious. Firstly, the weight of forged aluminum wheels is much more lighter than steel wheels, so it can save fuel. Secondly, the security has been improved greatly. Under the same load conditions, forged aluminum wheel hub can withstand a larger load and it has a good stiffness.Thirdly, forged aluminum wheels loses its heat quickly, which can not only to increase the service life of the brake, but also to reduce the risk of flat tire. what’s more, the roundness of forged aluminum wheels can reach to 0.05mm to improve the stability，road holding and braking of the car.

With the increasing maturity of the advanced manufacturing technology and precise forging technology, the application of forged aluminum wheels on special vehicles will be more and more.
