What is the difference between a wheel hub and a brake drum?
Wheel hub: The wheel hub, also known as the wheel rim, wheel cover, or wheel hub, is a barrel-shaped structure that supports the tire's inner contour. The central metal part is mounted on the axle. Wheel hubs are classified into many different types based on their diameter, width, forming method, and materials used.

Quality requirements for gray cast iron used in brake drums
During braking, the temperature of the brake drum rises instantaneously, and the generated heat must dissipate quickly. Heat conduction is therefore a crucial property. High thermal conductivity reduces the temperature gradient within the brake drum, minimizing thermal stress and preventing damage caused by thermal stress and fatigue.

What are the main reasons for overheating of automobile brake drums?
Please try to drive on roads with good conditions, avoid sudden braking and frequent braking, add gear oil of the specified model, and pay attention to the amount added. The bearing clearance needs to be adjusted at the service station.

Working principle of the braking system
The general working principle of a braking system is to prevent the rotation or tendency of rotation of the wheels by using friction between a non-rotating component connected to the vehicle body (or chassis) and a rotating component connected to the wheels (or drive shaft).

If brake disc water can be cleaned promptly, it will increase the braking force of the vehicle and thus reduce the braking distance. The vehicle's brake disc has an automatic cleaning function. This function will automatically increase the pressure of the braking system when needed, so the brake pads can lightly scrape the brake disc.

Machining process of car wheel hubs
The quality and reliability of wheel hubs are not only related to the safety of vehicles, passengers, and goods, but also affect the stability, maneuverability, and comfort of vehicles during driving. This requires good wheel hub dynamic balance, high fatigue strength, good stiffness and elasticity, high dimensional and shape accuracy, and light weight. Aluminum wheel hubs meet the above requirements with their good comprehensive performance.
