The forklift drive axle housing needs to be produced from materials with high strength, high toughness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance.
The most commonly selected materials for forklift drive axle housings are cast iron, cast steel and aluminum alloy.
Cast iron forklift drive axle housing
Gray cast iron has high hardness, high tensile strength and compressive strength, but high brittleness; ductile iron is better than gray iron in strength, toughness and corrosion resistance. Suitable for heavy vehicles.
Cast Steel forklift drive axle housing
Cast steel has better wear resistance and strength, but the price is relatively high.
Aluminum alloys forklift drive axle housing
Aluminum alloys usually have low density, high strength, excellent thermal conductivity. Widely used in light passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
