A wheel is a simple machine with an axle allowing low friction in motion by rolling. Wheels are usually used for locomotion; they are made from wood or steel. Most steel wheels have decorative chrome plating on them to avoid corrosion. Chrome plating means a thin layer of chrome applied on an object by electroplating chrome.
It gives a reflective (brighter) and more specular (less distorted and the reflection is deeper) finish to an object. Decorative Chrome plating includes electroplating of nickel on an object before electroplating chrome; nickel plating provides smoothness, helps resistance of corrosion, and gives high quality of reflectivity. Chrome plating provides the bluish cast that protects nickel plating from tarnishing and minimizes scratching thus contributing to corrosion resistance property of nickel. To get a high quality plating, minimum two layers of nickel plating (semi bright nickel and bright nickel plating) and one layer of chrome plating is required( triple chrome plating), the reason is problems involving galvanic corrosion issues.
Alba is a well known company manufacturing chrome wheels and rims since 1992. Their wheels have triple chrome plating that gives a bright finish to the wheel and a surface easily cleanable. They use casting machines with automatic control to avoid air bubble in the wheel which can cause the chrome plating to peel of from the lower quality wheel. The wheels then go through a heat treatment and an aging process which give the highest level of quality and strength. Alba manufactures many styles of wheels in different sizes suitable for trucks and SUV market, however generally they produce wheels ranging from 15”-24”. They also custom drill bolt patterns on specific styles. Their wheels are certified to exceed SEMA, SFI, JWL and VIA standards. |
