Can the wheel hub be replaced with a larger size?
1 Answers
Wheel hubs can be replaced with larger sizes. Below is relevant information about wheel hubs: 1. Introduction: A wheel hub is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the wheel steel via pillars, i.e., the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also known as a rim, steel ring, wheel, or tire bell. Wheel hubs come in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Depending on the characteristics and needs of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of wheel hubs may also vary, generally categorized into painting and electroplating. 2. Manufacturing methods: There are three methods for manufacturing aluminum alloy wheel hubs: gravity casting, forging, and low-pressure precision casting. Gravity casting involves pouring aluminum alloy solution into a mold using gravity. After forming, it is processed and polished on a lathe to complete production, making the manufacturing process relatively simple.
