Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed herein is a method of manufacturing a wheel nut. The method includes annealing an aluminum (Al) alloy material and preheating the annealed Al alloy material. The Al alloy material is also forged to form a wheel nut. Furthermore, the method includes performing an anodizing treatment to form a primary coating on the wheel nut and performing a vacuum deposition to form a secondary coating on the wheel nut. In addition, the method includes performing a surface treatment using powder paint to form a tertiary coating on the wheel nut.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing a wheel nut, comprising: annealing an aluminum (Al) alloy material; preheating the annealed Al alloy material; forging the preheated Al alloy material, to form a wheel nut; performing an anodizing treatment to form a primary coating on the wheel nut; performing a vacuum deposition to form a secondary coating on the wheel nut, which was subjected to primary coating; and performing a surface treatment using a powder paint to…
