  2. Magnesium wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_wheels

    The main disadvantage of forged wheels is the high manufacturing cost. Owing to the typically high costs of finished wheels, forged wheels are still rarely purchased by non-professional drivers for regular road use. But since forged wheels can be designed to be lighter than cast wheels for a given load, forged wheels do offer fuel economy and ...

  3. Shore durometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shore_durometer

    Two inline skate wheels with different durometer – 85A and 83A Digital Shore hardness tester. The Shore durometer is a device for measuring the hardness of a material, typically of polymers. [1] Higher numbers on the scale indicate a greater resistance to indentation and thus harder materials. Lower numbers indicate less resistance and softer ...

  4. Alloy wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alloy_wheel

    There are two types of forged wheels: one piece and modular. Modular forged wheels may feature two- or three-piece design. Typical multi-piece wheels consist of the inner rim base, outer rim lip and wheel center piece with openings for lug nuts. All parts of a modular wheel are held with bolts. BBS RS is one of the most famous three-piece ...

  6. Rays Wheels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rays_Wheels

    Rays wheels are manufactured through two different processes: forging and casting. After each wheel is manufactured, the wheel goes through strenuous inspection before being packaged and shipped out. The following is a video showing each manufacturing process of a Rays Engineering wheel: Rays Engineering Manufacturing Process .

  7. Universal testing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_testing_machine

    A universal testing machine (UTM), also known as a universal tester, [1] universal tensile machine, materials testing machine, materials test frame, is used to test the tensile strength (pulling) and compressive strength (pushing), flexural strength, bending, shear, hardness, and torsion testing, providing valuable data for designing and ...

  8. Motorcycle wheel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorcycle_wheel

    A 1977 Harley-Davidson XLCR with seven-spoke alloy wheels manufactured by Morris [8]. High-performance motorcycles began to use cast alloy wheels (usually aluminum but sometimes magnesium) as early as the Münch Mammoth, with its single cast-elektron [9] rear wheel which was shown at the Intermot motorcycle show at Cologne in late 1966.

  9. Izod impact strength test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Izod_impact_strength_test

    The Izod impact test differs from the Charpy impact test in that the sample is held in a cantilevered beam configuration as opposed to a three-point bending configuration. The test is named after the English engineer Edwin Gilbert Izod (1876–1946), who described it in his 1903 address to the British Association , subsequently published in ...
