Definitions

  • This invention relates to a simplified process for manufacturing metal rims for vehicle wheels, in particular tire rims of aluminium alloy for wheels of motor vehicles, preferably weldless.
  • the aluminium alloy tire rims for motor vehicle wheels are presently manufactured starting from a flat plate which is caused to assume the tire rim shape by means of the following operations :
  • the resulting tire rim is ready for assembly by welding to the disc-wheel.
  • metal tire rims preferably weldless, for vehicle wheels, particularly weldless tire rims of aluminium alloy for motor vehicle wheels.
  • a hydroforming process which consists in imparting the desired shape to the wall of a metal pipe cut down size, preferably of the extruded type, by applicating to the inside of said pipe - previously inserted into a female die-matrix having inner walls profiled according to the shape to be imparted to the desired tire rim - a hydraulic pressure, by means of a press of conventional type, thus obtaining a rough profiled tire rim ready for the final finish (trimming by turning and the like).
  • Particularly suited materials to be employed for the manufacturing of tire rims according to the process of the present invention are the aluminium alloys of the Al-Mg type of the known Series AA 5000, the Al-Mg-Si alloys of the known Series AA 6000, and the Al-Zn-Mg or Al-Zn-Mg-Cu alloys of the known Series AA 7000.
  • the process forming the object of the present invention is particularly utilized for tire rims of wheels for motor vehicles; it is employable with technical-economical advantages also for manufacturing rims and tire rims for the most different types of vehicles, also in connection with the fact that the process itself can be practiced to obtain, instead of one rough rim only for each individual hydroforming operation, a plurality of rims (or tire rims), in this case starting from a pipe having a length proportioned to the desired number of rough rims to be obtained for every single forming operation, and utilizing, for said operation, a "multiple" die-matrix, i.e. having a plurality of "impressions", namely as are required to obtain the desired number of rims.
  • Cut-trimming operations to be carried out after the above-described multiple hydroforming, permit to obtain the finished rims.
