Assembly method for two-part vehicle wheel - has weld seam between rim and disc surfaces held in flat contact with each other

The light metal wheel has a cylindrical inner surface (4) formed on the rim (2) by machining a ring-shaped surface (4a). The machined surface forms a level, flat contact surface with an outer surface (5a) of the outer circumferential region (5) of the disc (3). The disc is so joined to the rim by a...

More Information
Summary:The light metal wheel has a cylindrical inner surface (4) formed on the rim (2) by machining a ring-shaped surface (4a). The machined surface forms a level, flat contact surface with an outer surface (5a) of the outer circumferential region (5) of the disc (3). The disc is so joined to the rim by a welding seam (6) that the stress between the rim and the disc is not concentrated in the weld. USE/ADVANTAGE - For use in the automotive industry. Allows lower product costs and simultaneously ensures a high degree of stiffness between the components.
