Five Types And Material Characteristics Of Wheel Hub Bolts
The hub bolt is a more common fastener, which is a high-strength bolt that connects the vehicle to the wheel, and is used to support the tire, cushion the external impact, and transfer the body weight to the road surface. They bear the lateral load, driving force, and braking torque during turning to ensure the driving performance of the vehicle. As a professional fastener manufacturer, Xinchi is pleased to introduce hub bolts to you.
Five types of hub bolts and their material characteristics:
Carbon steel hub bolts: Carbon steel wheel bolts are mainly composed of carbon and iron, the price is lower, the durability is better, suitable for ordinary vehicles. However, in high-strength and heavy-duty environments, carbon steel wheel bolts are easy to break and need to be replaced regularly.
Alloy steel hub bolts: Alloy steel wheel bolts add alloying elements such as chromium, molybdenum, titanium, etc., high strength, and good durability, suitable for high-performance vehicles and heavy vehicles. But at a higher price.
Stainless steel hub bolts: Stainless steel wheel bolts are more corrosion-resistant and suitable for use in coastal areas and wet environments. But the strength is relatively low, and can not be used in heavy load or high strength environments.
Aluminum alloy hub bolts: Aluminum wheel bolts are lightweight beautiful and suitable for high-performance and sports cars. However, the strength is low, unsuitable for heavy or high-strength environments.
Titanium hub bolts: Titanium alloy wheel bolts made of CT4 material, high price but excellent performance, suitable for the pursuit of extreme performance of the vehicle enthusiasts. Titanium alloy bolts have high strength and corrosion resistance, suitable for a variety of harsh environments.
Application scenarios and advantages and disadvantages of different types of wheel bolts:
Carbon steel hub bolts: Suitable for ordinary vehicles, cheap price, good durability, but easy to break in high strength environment.
Alloy steel hub bolts: Suitable for high-performance and heavy-duty vehicles, high strength, and good durability, but high price.
Stainless steel hub bolts: Suitable for coastal and humid environments, good corrosion resistance, but low strength.
Aluminum alloy hub bolts: Suitable for high-performance and sports cars, light and beautiful, but low strength.
Titanium hub bolts: Suitable for a variety of harsh environments, high strength and corrosion resistance, but expensive.
The selection of the appropriate hub bolt material should be determined according to the use of the vehicle environment and performance requirements.
