Steel stamped wheels

Most the wide circulation was received by stamped steel disks. Structurally they consist of the disk (plate) and a rim. A disk (plate) stamp from a sheet steel on a special cross-section for ruggedness increase. A wheel tread also stamp from a steel. Both components connect among themselves by means of dot contact welding. After that on a surface put a sheeting (enamel, a powder covering and another). Some cars on the conveyor receive plastic decorative caps for such wheels – in this case wheels are painted by the black. There are wheels of silvery color is more often, is more rare – chromeplated, white and others.
On sale there are steel wheels with landing diameter from 12 to 16 inches, approaching to huge set of cars, - choose! Such wheels on a number of the enterprises of Russia, the CIS countries and the far abroad are made.
Identification mark of steel stamped wheels is similar to identification mark light-alloy wheels.

Pluses of steel punching

Steel disks complete the most part of the cars descending from conveyors all over the world. The secret of such popularity, as always, is trivial and consists in their cheapness and simplicity of manufacturing. But their advantage not only in it: even at very strong blow they don't collapse, and are rumpled that promotes increase of safety of a vehicle. A steel disk, being plastic, it is deformed, taking up a considerable part of energy of blow therefore suspender and steering details receive the minimum damages. After blow the hushed up steel disk can be restored rolling in special workshops to a complete recovery of the original form. If the disk has received cracks, them it is possible to make, process seams, balance – and again to receive completely a suitable wheel for operation.
Minuses of steel punching

The main lack of a steel disk is its rather big weight that negatively affects operational characteristics of the car. For weight reduction it is necessary to reduce a thickness of elements of a wheel that is inadmissible on a condition of preservation of sufficient resistance of deformation (i.e. on a strength condition).
Steel disk on the car. One more minus is weak resistibility of a material of a disk of corrosion which quickly progresses at sheeting collapse. Outwardly such disks don't apply at all for originality. If the car the worker also is used for transportation of cargoes in remote areas, such wheels just for it – inexpensive and practical. Interested persons «to make to themselves it is beautiful» buy for such wheels is decorative-protective plastic caps. But on expensive serious car caps look unpresentably. Therefore, if the car is for you not only a vehicle, but also a part of your image, it makes sense to pick up light-alloy wheels.
