Automotive Injection Molding Pressurized Steering Wheel
The interior and exterior of a car are made of materials with different properties, but plastic is still the most widely used, largest area and widest range. Ninety percent of car parts are injection molded plastic parts. These parts bring many benefits to the vehicle, such as a neat and beautiful appearance.
Plastic parts cost less than metal parts. The metal resources required to manufacture some specific parts are limited, and many suppliers will charge a high price due to their rarity. Plastic injection molding can manufacture most parts without this limitation, so the injection molding price is more favorable.

Plastic is one of the most common choices for steering wheels. The main advantages include low cost, light weight, easy processing and strong corrosion resistance. However, plastic also has some disadvantages, such as poor wear resistance, easy scratching and aging.
The steering wheel of a car mainly consists of parts such as the steering column, steering shaft, steering wheel housing, airbags and controls.
Steering column: This is the pillar of the steering wheel, usually made of metal or plastic, connecting the front wheels of the car and the driver's hands.
Steering shaft: The key component that connects the front wheels to the steering column. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering shaft moves the front wheels to change their direction.
Steering wheel housing: Usually made of plastic, leather or other materials, it is used to protect the driver's hands and provide a comfortable grip. It also contains many controls, such as the horn button, cruise control and steering wheel heating.
Airbag: Many modern car steering wheels are equipped with airbags to protect the driver's head in the event of a collision.
These airbags are usually located in the center part of the steering wheel housing.
Controls: There may be many controls on the steering wheel, such as the horn button, cruise control, steering wheel heating, audio controls, etc., allowing the driver to easily operate many functions of the car while driving.
In addition, the steering wheel itself consists of a hub, spokes, rim and pads. The hub, spokes and spokes are usually made of steel, aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy or carbon fiber. There are 1 to 4 spokes.
