Skeletal structures for car steering wheels

摘要

In a skeleton construction for steering wheels, the steering wheel hub, the steering wheel spokes and the moulding of the steering wheel spokes on the steering wheel rim, which consists of a metallic material, are cast in a single piece from aluminium pressure diecasting. In order to permit the moment of inertia to be varied with the smallest steering wheel mass and identical steering wheel dimensions, an aluminium alloy of the type AlSi7Mg, AlSi9Mg or AlSi10Mg is used for the pressure diecast component and the steering wheel rim is constructed from steel or aluminium as a solid or hollow profile.
