A steering wheel for an automobile is provided. The steering wheel comprises: a surface element formed by stacking a decorative layer and a reinforce layer; a core material layer disposed to the inside of the surface elements; and a metal core disposed to the inside of the core material layer, the surface elements, the core material layer, and the metal core being integrated to form the steering wheel, wherein the reinforce layer is made of a sheet molding compound or a bulk molding compound. A manufacturing method for a steering wheel is also provided. The manufacturing method comprises the steps of: forming a metal core; forming a surface element including a decorative layer and a reinforce layer which are stacked together; and forming a core material layer between the metal core and the surface element so that the core metal, the core material layer, and the surface element are integrated, wherein the reinforce layer is formed by heating and pressing a sheet molding compound or a bulk molding compound. Accordingly, steering wheel has high mechanical strength, and is easy to be manufactured. |
