What is the purpose of an aluminum alloy tire valve?
1 Answers
Aluminum alloy tire valves are one-way valves used for inflating and deflating the air inside tires while maintaining tire pressure. They are installed on the wheel rims to perform their function. Here are the specific details about tire valves: Service Life: Tire valves are made of rubber, which can deteriorate over time. The valve body may gradually crack, deform, and lose elasticity. When the vehicle is in motion, the rubber valve will sway back and forth due to centrifugal force, causing deformation and accelerating the aging process. Therefore, tire valves should be replaced every 3 to 4 years. Advantages and Disadvantages: The advantages of aluminum alloy tire valves include resistance to aging, an attractive appearance, and compatibility with tire pressure monitoring systems. However, their disadvantages include limited universality and susceptibility to oxidation and sticking. On the other hand, plastic tire valves are widely compatible with most wheel rims but are prone to aging.
