This SAE Recommended Practice provides uniform laboratory procedures for biaxial fatigue testing of wheels intended for normal highway use and temporary use on passenger car vehicles and light trucks and minimum cycle requirement for ferrous wheels for ballasted passenger car applications. The appendices provide scalable load files that are applicable to ballasted passenger cars and ballasted light trucks. A load file for unballasted passenger cars will be added to this document.

This SAE Standard covers the chemical, metallurgical, and mechanical requirements for one piece passenger car and truck ferrous wheel nuts with conical or spherical nut seats for the following sizes: This test is for typical wheel nuts. Special applications (nut material and/or configurations) may require special conditions which must meet load values in 3.4.

This SAE Standard covers the chemical, metallurgical, and mechanical requirements for one piece passenger car and truck ferrous wheel nuts with conical or spherical nut seats for the following sizes: This test is for ordinary wheel nuts. Special applications (nut material and/or configurations) may require special conditions which must meet load values in 3.4.1.

This SAE Recommended Practice establishes uniform engineering nomenclature for the most common wheel constructions, and their components used on passenger cars, light trucks, and multipurpose vehicles. These wheel constructions are welded “Disc Wheels”, “Cast Wheels” and “Forged Wheels”. This nomenclature and the accompanying drawings are intended to define fundamental wheel terms rather than to provide a comprehensive tabulation of all wheel design types.

This SAE practice is intended for the sample preparation of test pieces for automotive wheels and wheel trim. The practice provides a consistent scribing method for use on test panels and or component parts with substrate chemical pretreatment and coating systems. Test specimens can then be subjected to various corrosion tests in order to evaluate performance without significant variations of the degree of exposure of the substrate. The scribing is used to create a break in the coating/finishing as can occur in the field through gravel and other damaging conditions. NOTE— Significant variability is attributed to surface contour, coating hardness/softness, operator reproducibility, and the scribing tool and it’s condition.

This document proposes methods for the testing and evaluation of aluminum wheel and wheel trim surface finishes for compatibility with various types of tire, wheel and car wash cleaning materials, and other chemicals that might come into contact with these automotive components. It is recognized that each end user of this methodology might seek answers to questions that are unique to his business or situation. Therefore, the procedure is written in a generic sequence that could be strictly followed, repeated, or modified in order to provide the user with the best results. Example decision tree are provided to help the user select a sequence of exposure steps that would best suit his needs, (reference Figures 1, 2). This procedure should not be utilized if the intent is to evaluate the compatibility of wheel finishes to any flammable products, because those chemistries would require special laboratory safety and handling precautions.

This test procedure defines a laboratory procedure for generating and evaluating filiform corrosion on painted aluminum wheels and painted aluminum wheel trim. While this test was developed specifically for the testing of painted aluminum wheels and wheel trim it may be applicable to other components. The application owner will need to assess if this test generates filiform similar to that found in the relevant usage to ensure it will provide accurate data for the application.

This SAE Recommended Practice provides minimum performance requirements and uniform procedures for nut seat system strength of wheels intended for normal highway use on passenger cars, light trucks, (except dual wheels, which are covered by SAE J1965) and multipurpose passenger vehicles. The nut seat system includes the wheel, wheel bolts, and wheel nuts as applicable. Many factors must be considered in design and validation of wheel attachments for each specific vehicle. The individual components should be evaluated per the SAE standards referenced.
