How Motorcycle Wheel Hubs are Manufactured

A hub is a central part of a motorcycle wheel, usually consisting of a metal disc with a set of spokes. The hub connects to the axle, which in turn connects to the frame of the motorcycle. Spokes provide support to the wheel and help keep it in contact with the ground. The hub also contains the brake rotor, which is responsible for stopping the wheel.

Motorcycle wheel hubs are manufactured using a process called investment casting. Investment casting is a process where a mold is made from a wax or metal pattern. The mold is then filled with ceramic material. Once the ceramic material hardens, the mold is heated to a high temperature. This melts the wax or metal pattern, leaving a hollow cavity. The molten metal is then poured into the cavity and allowed to cool. The hub is then manufactured to the required specifications.
