This standard supersedes “Performance Requirements and Test Methods of Passenger Car Steel Wheels” (GB/T 5334-1995) and "Performance Requirements and Test Methods of Automobile Light Alloy Wheels" (QC/T 221-1997).
This standard differs from GB/T 5334-1995 mainly in:
—The fixed wheel clamping methods for steel and alloy wheels were unified with identical fixed position and fixing method, i.e. fix the wheel long-shoulder rim, connect to wheel bottom and bolt hole with test fastening, then apply bending moment to wheel by loading arm. (4.2.1 in the edition 1995 and 4.3.2.1 in this edition)
—Failure criteria were added in dynamic bending fatigue test, which are different from ISO and JIS standards, mainly considering that the wheel adopts low-strength material make its rigidity weaker, thus causing earlier failure of wheel. In this way, wheel failure caused as such can be effectively avoided. (See 4.3.3. 1.c) in this edition)
—Performance requirements of dynamic radial fatigue test was changed a little: the original two strengthening test coefficients K for steel wheels were reserved, the classification of nominal rim diameter code for light alloy wheels was cancelled, and the minimum cycles for steel and alloy wheels were increased and unified. (5.3 and Table A2 of Appendix A in the edition 1995 and 3.2 in this edition)
