Steel wheel hubs are heavy and lack design versatility, making them incompatible with today’s emphasis on low-carbon and stylish trends. Nowadays, nearly all new vehicle models come equipped with aluminum alloy wheels, and many car owners are replacing their original steel rims with aluminum alloy ones. Thanks to their numerous advantages over steel wheels, aluminum alloy plate for wheels is winning increasing favor among drivers.
On average, an aluminum alloy wheel is 2kg lighter than a steel wheel of the same size. Equipping a car with five such wheels reduces weight by about 10kg. Japanese studies show that reducing a 5-seat car’s weight by 1kg saves approximately 20L of gasoline per year. According to a report by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), while aluminum alloy wheels may have a slightly higher upfront cost, the fuel savings over 20,000km of driving can fully offset the expense.
Engine load and power curves indicate that power decreases when load exceeds a certain threshold. Aluminum alloy wheels reduce engine load, minimizing wear and extending engine lifespan.
Aluminum alloy’s thermal conductivity is three times that of steel, ensuring excellent heat dissipation. During long-distance high-speed driving, this helps maintain optimal tire temperature, preventing premature aging of brake drums and tires while reducing the risk of blowouts.
With roundness accuracy up to 0.05mm, aluminum alloy wheels offer exceptional balance, eliminating excessive body vibration and steering wheel wobble.
Aluminum alloy wheels outperform steel wheels in impact resistance, tensile strength, and thermal tolerance—key reasons why aluminum is widely used in defense and aerospace industries.
Unlike monotonous steel rims, aluminum alloy wheels come in diverse designs, enhanced finishes, and vibrant colors, elevating a car’s value and visual appeal.
Among the many aluminum alloy plates for wheels, the 6061 aluminum plate stands out. It offers excellent machinability, allowing easy cutting, bending, and stamping to create wheels in various shapes and sizes for different vehicle needs. Its superior weldability ensures strong, stable joints, enhancing overall wheel strength. Additionally, 6061 aluminum boasts outstanding corrosion resistance, making it ideal for harsh environments (e.g., humid or salt-prone regions) and extending wheel longevity. For everyday sedans and cost-conscious buyers seeking performance, 6061 aluminum is the perfect choice.
