The method for manufacturing a light-alloy hybrid wheel, including a disk (2) and a rim (1) that are rigidly connectable by friction welding, is characterized in that said method implements the following different operational phases: creating the front disk, obtained by a dual operation of casting a foundry preform and transferring said preform into a forging die, an operation of forging said preform in order to obtain the front disk, and a flash removal operation for obtaining said front disk; creating the rim portion by means of the manufacture of a light-alloy billet and the transformation of the latter into a circular flank through hot or cold extrusion (P1), then expanding (P2) said circular flank to the size of the final rim, then performing an operation of cold or hot flow-forming (P3) said circular flank to the profile of the rim in the final form and profile thereof; and assembling by welding the front disk portion and the rim by means of a friction welding operation after machining the areas to be assembled. The invention further relates to the light-alloy hybrid wheel obtained according to the method. |
