Process for manufacturing motor car steering wheels with an external shell made of carbon fibres and steering wheel thus obtained

摘要

A process for manufacturing motor car steering wheels with an external shell made of carbon fibres, comprises preparation of piles (7) of sheet materials, hot moulding thereof for obtaining respective half-shells (6) with a shape corresponding to that of respective halves of the steering wheel being manufactured, mechanical flattening of the front surfaces (19) of the two half-shells, mounting of the two half-shells (6) above and under a steering wheel body (15) formed by a metallic core (4) covered by resin (5). The steering wheel body (15) has previously been provided with lateral profiles (16) which then act as fixing supports for the two half-shells (6).
