BACKGROUND ART In recent years, as the number of vehicles has increased, the mounting rate of light alloy wheels on vehicles has increased. As a light alloy vehicle wheel, a light metal wheel mainly composed of a light metal such as aluminum or magnesium is frequently used from the viewpoint of reducing unsprung load and design aesthetics. As for their production methods, casting methods and forging methods are predominant, and furthermore, high-density casting methods or hot forging after preform casting are usually carried out by casting forging.
g) and the like, and in the working stage of the forging method, a spinning method, a pressing method, or the like is used. Further, in terms of the structural characteristics of the wheels, there are one-piece wheels, two-piece wheels, three-piece wheels, and the like. One-piece wheels are particularly excellent in rigidity, functionality, weight, and the like.

By the way, the structure of the wheel is composed of two elements, a rim part (outer rim and inner rim) and a disk part.
The disk portion has a disk-shaped and complicated design pattern, and the rim portion has a drum-like shape and requires rigidity against bending. Therefore, in order to successfully fuse the two elements, it is desirable to separately manufacture the rim portion and the disc portion and join them to each other. In addition, the spinning method is usually used to manufacture the inner rim part of an integrated forged wheel. However, since the thickness is reduced to about 4 to 5 mm and plastically deformed, the processing time is long and the yield is reduced. ing.

The light alloy vehicle wheel according to the present invention can be obtained in the form of an integrated wheel by a friction welding method. For that purpose, the disk portion, the inner rim portion or the outer rim portion must be manufactured separately as appropriate. This makes it possible to reduce the number of difficult steps of forging. further,
According to the present invention, by employing the casting and forging method, it is possible to reduce the cost required for various design patterns of the disk portion, and to suppress the manufacturing cost of the light alloy vehicle wheel by improving the material yield. it can.
