What are the types of hub forgings?

The type of wheel hub forging mainly depends on its manufacturing process and design. According to the different manufacturing process, wheel hub forging can be divided into single, double and three pieces.

Single wheel hub refers to the whole wheel hub as a whole, and its manufacturing process usually includes forming forging and milling forging. This type of wheel has the advantages of light weight, good dynamic balance and high reliability, but the shape is relatively single.

The two-piece wheel is divided into two parts: the rim and the wheel width, which are combined and fixed by high-strength bolts. This type of wheel hub is very popular when modifying the wheel rim, because they can be changed by changing the style without changing the specification size, so as not to affect the annual inspection.

The rim part of the three-piece wheel hub is composed of a front piece and a rear piece, and it is sealed to ensure air tightness after assembly. This type of hub is relatively rare and is mainly used for some specific applications, such as racing cars or other occasions that require more complex designs.

In addition, according to the different design, hub forgings can also be divided into integral, split, casting and so on. The integral wheel hub is usually manufactured by precision forging process, which has the advantages of high strength, light weight and low cost. The split hub is manufactured separately from the rim and the wheel width, and then connected together by high-strength bolts for easy maintenance and replacement. Cast wheels are manufactured using the casting process and are usually used for large vehicles or special applications.

In short, the type of hub forgings depends on the manufacturing process and design needs, and different types of hub forgings have different characteristics and application occasions.
