Steps in steering wheel manufacturingIntroductionShuttlewheels today consist of an internal metal core covered in resin and an external shell made of a different material depending on the manufacturer (George, 2011) . In this miniature car steering wheel formula, the core will be made of carbon fiber which will be impregnated with polypropylene. The bracket housing will be made from high strength 6063-T6 aluminum, with the handles being made from ABS. Steps followed in manufacturing the steering wheel In current technology, the inner metal core designated 4 is composed of the outer rim 3 and spokes 2 (Karnopp, 2003). The steering wheel parts for Formula Student are CNC stamped and the composite materials making up the shell will be 6063-T6 aluminum. The steps to follow are as follows: 1. The stack of aluminum sheets and composite materials 7 is hot molded in a mold 8 which has a cavity 9 of suitable shape and a cover 10 which has a projection 10 whose shape is complementary to the cavity 9.2. The composite materials 7 have different thicknesses, the resin (polypropylene) is 0.1-0.6mm, the middle sheet is 0.8-1.1mm, and the outer sheet is 0.1-0.8mm. All three layers will produce a 1.0-2.5mm half shell.3. The aluminum is impregnated with polypropylene before molding to strengthen it.4. Molding is carried out at a temperature of 120 and 180°C. The hot molding process takes between 1 and 3.5 minutes. The pressure applied during molding depends on the amount of air left between the two shells.5. The half-shells obtained after the molding process comprise a part 12 which is a curved central part, and a pair of side fins 13.6. The pair of side fins are in the middle of the paper......around £72.37. The cost may vary depending on shipping charges for materials purchased and other miscellaneous costs. Companies Manufacturing Shuttlecocks for Formula Students According to Thomas Publishing Company (2014), companies involved in the commercial production of such shuttlecocks in the United States United are: McLaren Automotive, Azusa Engineering Inc. – Covina CA, Johnson Bros. Metal Forming Co. – Berkeley, IL. Fiber Dynamics, Inc. Wichita, KS and Stainless Steel Direct – Tillsonburg, ON.ConclusionTo make a formula student steering wheel, it must be lightweight, strong and durable. High-strength 6063-T6 aluminum is most suitable to make up the steering wheel core. polypropylene is added in the form of resin to reinforce composite materials. Manufacturing of the steering wheel is an expensive process and is carried out by several companies in the country..
