It's curious that they don't mention one of the most important aspects for those who use wheels made of light metal alloys, which is the fact that they help the behavior of the shock absorber by reducing the inertia of the many fast vertical movements per second. Better suspension...better handling on the straights but especially when cornering.
They did say alloy wheels improve handling in the intro. I suppose they didn't feel the need to go into detail about why, which I think is fair enough considering the show is about how it's made, not about giving a detailed explanation on why you should buy alloys ;)
I'm a Maintenance Tech in a foundry that produces aluminum alloy wheels. We have a lot more automation, but this covers the processes very well. We use some of the same equipment shown here. The German made paint line and the Japanese made lathes. Hats off to the Germans for making highly reliable equipment.
I love these videos. They always show a bazillion dollar CAD-CAM, huge building full of machines that automatically do (almost) everything. There's always ONE human bottleneck who, in this case, dips the workpieces ONE AT A TIME into the cooling tank. I guess they haven't invented the machine, yet, that dips a dozen/hundred at a time? LOL. I love this stuff, and the Canukian VO.
About weight factor, there is a wide range in the amount of weight difference between steel and aluminum wheels. Many cast aluminum wheels from the car manufacturers weigh nearly as much as the steel models. For example, the 16-inch by 6.5-inch steel wheels on the Chevrolet Cobalt and Malibu weigh 19.2 lb. each and the optional aluminum wheels weigh 18.9 lb
No, they weren't first made from Magnesium, they started with aluminum. Then in the 60s, some auto makers tried Mag since Mag is significantly lighter than Aluminum. But Mag corrodes so badly, and is much more dangerous to cast and machine that auto makers gave up on them.
@@e-curb is that so? "The original cast magnesium wheels were made beginning in the 1930s and their production continues today. Some of the biggest brands producing magnesium wheels in the past include Halibrand, American Racing, Campagnolo, Cromodora, Ronal, Technomagnesio, and Watanabe"
@@alanrobinson7891 There was only one guy in the world who knew how to cast Mg, so saying Mg wheels were around back then isn't a very truthful statement. The wheel manufacturers you quoted were making Mg wheels in the 60s. British Racing Motors (BRM) and Mahle are two more manufacturers who made Mg wheels in the 60s.
Spoiler alert: Steel is an alloy, too. Lightweight wheels are most important to reduce "unsprung weight" which has an effect on ride quality. You want the suspension pieces below the springs to have as little inertia as possible, so when they hit a bump, they move up or down faster.
It's something of an irony that 'exotic' aluminum started being used for automobile wheels as a weight saving device while also improving handling as aluminum components reduced unsprung weight. Present day, wheel and tire combinations have grown much larger/heavier over the past two decades which puts additional stress on suspension components.
The biggest advantage of light rim in the reduction of your unsprung mass, which is critical with low height tyres. When driving over an obstacle with low height tyres and you have heavy rims combined with them, the tyre cannot push the the rim/wheel quickly enough upwards which means the tyre gets deformed a lot more tham with low weight alloy rims. so basically alloy rims extend the life-span of your types by far and also making your ride more comfortable. especially - as stated above - with low height tyres.
Wheel making is a very interesting process although there are various ways to make them. I am familiar with both dual gate and single gate low pressure processes and kind of liked the work when I was making wheels for Honda at a local wheel plant that was in my town oh about 20 or so years ago. With that said, unfortunately the company did not maintain the equipment in order to run good quality wheels as one sees in this video where there is minimal excess flashing on the wheels and not excess appears to be left behind in the die. That’s huge for wheel making. Also, no shrinkage or impurities can be seen in the X-ray of the wheels.
+keefmeister77 get two different types of wheel nuts on each wheel, special nut ones that can only be screwed with a special key-input . make sure u tighten heaps, maybe use a rattle gun, and get a 5 star vibration sensitive alarm lol. if u wanna be even more secure, park your car inside your garage instead of outside.
That was my first thought. They went from higher end cars to cast alloy wheels. I doubt the people who developed this segment know the difference between forged and cast.

Many newer cars come standard with Aluminum wheels. I remember my first brand new car didnt even come with a radio. They wanted to charge me extra, so I had it removed. They left the speakers. lol. I removed those too. I installed an Alpine system that had a boosted graphic equalizer. Now we bought a car that came with Aluminum wheels and a Bose stereo system. My how far I have come. My first brand new car costed $3,500. My car now cost $16,000 used. It was $27,000 when new. I never buy brand new now.
The standard alloy wheel is usually HEAVIER than the steel wheel. They just look better. You need to buy more expensive wheels to have them lighter. Lighter wheels are usually rolled from a blank and not cast. Casting is just the cheapo variant. Very expensive wheels are rolled from a forged blank.
It may have been said already but, just so everyone knows: every modern automotive wheel is made of some kind of alloy. Steel wheels: alloy. Aluminum wheels: alloy. Magnesium wheels: alloy. A better title for this video would have been: How It’s Made: Aluminum alloy wheels (or whichever alloy this video is spotlighting)
How do they make the mold that is used to make that rims? Does an artist make the mold for the mold? And wouldn't it be imperfect if it were made by an artist using clay or something like that?
Some of the worse designs are, but the original purpose was to make wheels lighter. The lightest wheels around are still aluminum forged rims. For heavy trucking, for example, a steel wheel weighs almost 80 pounds and an aluminum one weighs less than 50. The problem is aluminum wheels have become a fashion piece, so car manufacturers and the aftermarket can get away with selling stylish looking poorly made garbage that has no advantage over steel than looks.
@@bvcxzgt5451 It always annoys me when I see dumb wheel designs that have tons of extra metal that is no use structurally. Especially when I consider some poor engineer probably spent 100 hours cutting a few grams of weight out of the car's suspension design to lower the unsprung mass of the system only to have some dumb wheel add 100X the weight they worked so hard to eliminate.
She forgot to say the most important part about advantages over steal rims. Because alloy is lighter it's much better on suspension = comfort - off road...etc

As you pull one side of the tire over the edge of the rim, the other side of the tire needs to move into the drop well so the mounting bead of the tire doesn't have to stretch to a larger circumference as you install it.
Yikes, this is a very weak form of Alloy wheel production. Pressure Casting. These will bend at the sight of a pothole. Rotary Forging or Monoblock Single Piece Forging is way stronger and prevents the Aluminum from becoming Porous and Heavy. How the Alloy wheel is made matters more than it simply being advertised as "Alloy".
Mike Hunt ; I had a nice exchange with a gentleman from England concerning this. Turns out the spelling is different in their Oxford dictionary and ours. So both aluminum, (American) and aluminium (British) are correct. All depends who and where you are! 😊

Is aluminum oxide usable or is it just an impurity that is discarded? It has a neat red color that I could totally see being used as a pigment.
I believe that aluminium oxide is used for dyes, i also believe that it's used in the medical industry or maybe that was magnesium oxide
There are many uses for aluminum oxide. One of the more common is as an abrasive in sandpaper.
Failing any other usage, aluminum oxide can simply be recycled with bauxite to form fresh aluminum.
There are a lot of uses for it; I'd imagine most of it just gets thrown back in the electrolysis cell and turned into aluminum metal.
Most sandpaper is made with aluminum oxide as the abrasive.
