Should Original Steel Wheels Be Replaced with Aluminum Alloy?

[SanHailey]

Here is the relevant introduction about whether original steel wheels should be replaced with aluminum alloy: 1. Steel wheels: Steel wheels have strong load-bearing capacity (large trucks and buses all use steel rims), good toughness (they can automatically recover after slight deformation), relatively strong resistance to metal fatigue, and are low-cost. Usually, steel wheels are equipped with a plastic cover on the outside for aesthetic purposes. 2. Aluminum alloy wheels: Aluminum alloy wheels are lighter, harder, and come in more styles due to differences in material and manufacturing processes. 3. Differences: Compared to steel wheels, aluminum alloy wheels are actually harder, so under the same strength, they absorb energy less effectively than steel wheels and are more prone to fracture. Additionally, due to reasons like metal fatigue and aging, aluminum alloy wheels have a slightly shorter lifespan than steel wheels.
