Forged vs. Cast Wheel Hubs: A Detailed Analysis of Their Distinctiveness
The wheel hub plays a critical role in vehicle performance and safety in the automotive world.
This integral component connects the wheel to the axle, ensuring a seamless power transfer from the drivetrain to the wheels.
The manufacturing process of wheel hubs significantly influences their characteristics and performance, with forging and casting being the two main methods.
Despite serving the same function, forged and cast wheel hubs differ remarkably in their manufacturing process, strength and durability, weight, cost, and design flexibility.
This blog post aims to delve into these differences, providing an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of their distinctiveness.
