Carbon fiber wheels, as a new type of automotive wheel hub material, have the following characteristics and descriptions:
Lightweight: Carbon fiber wheels are lighter compared to traditional aluminum alloy or steel wheels. Generally, aluminum alloy wheels weigh about 15 kilograms, while carbon fiber wheels can reduce their weight to around 8 kilograms, becoming a "miracle" for car weight reduction
High strength: The density of carbon fiber material is lighter than that of metal, but its strength is 16 times that of steel, which makes carbon fiber wheels have high-strength characteristics while maintaining lightweight
High modulus: The Young's modulus of carbon fiber is 2-3 times that of traditional glass fiber, which makes carbon fiber wheels exhibit better elasticity and fatigue resistance under load
Corrosion resistance: Carbon fiber materials have excellent corrosion resistance and are not easy to rust, which is very beneficial for improving the durability and service life of wheel hubs.
