Method and device for casting vehicle wheels

摘要

A method for casting a vehicle wheel using a casting device is disclosed, in which the has a mold provided with a main body (M), a casting space (4) and a gate (43). The main body (M) of the mold includes a casting space section (453) for forming the rim of the wheel, and the gate (43) is arranged at one side of said casting space section (453) and opens into said casting space section. During casting and cooling the wheel, the disk portion of the wheel is partially and separately forcefully cooled. A vehicle wheel casted with this method has miniaturized structure. As only the hub portion is forcefully cooled, the necessary tensile strength of the bolt hole in the hub portion can easily be obtained at low cost. <IMAGE>
