2. Alloy wheel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy_wheel

   Magnesium wheels were originally used for racing, but their popularity during the 1960s led to the development of other die-cast wheels, particularly of aluminium alloys. The term "mag wheels" became synonymous with die-cast wheels made from any material, from modern aluminium alloy wheels to plastic and composite wheels used on items like ...

3. Aluminium alloy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_alloy

   Wheels have been cast from A356.0 aluminium or formed 5xxx sheet. [71] Engine blocks and crankcases are often cast made of aluminium alloys. The most popular aluminium alloys used for cylinder blocks are A356, 319 and to a minor extent 242.

4. Aluminium–silicon alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–silicon_alloys

   Aluminium–silicon alloys or Silumin is a general name for a group of lightweight, high-strength aluminium alloys based on an aluminum–silicon system (AlSi) that consist predominantly of aluminum - with silicon as the quantitatively most important alloying element.

5. Wheel construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_construction

   Wheels are constructed in a wide variety of designs using different materials, but in the early 21st century, aluminum and steel are most often used, with steel-made wheels being heavier and more durable than aluminum wheels. The performance of a wheel depends on the alloy and technique used to construct it. [1]

6. BBS Autotechnik - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBS_Autotechnik

   BBS continues to produce one-, two-, and three-piece forged wheels out of aluminum and magnesium alloys, as well as high performance flow-formed wheels and low-pressure cast wheels. [20] BBS also actively uses specialized quality and weight optimization methods, such as CNC back-milled spokes , x-ray inspection , FEM analysis, flow-forming ...

7. Aluminium–copper alloys - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium–copper_alloys

   Cast alloys contain about 4% copper and small amounts of other additives that improve castability, including titanium and magnesium. The starting material is primary aluminium; in contrast to other cast aluminium alloys, secondary aluminium (made from scrap) is not used because it reduces elongation and toughess at break.
