Abstract: With the rapid development of automobile industrialization, energy usage has increased significantly. The problem of environmental pollution has become severe. Reducing the weight of cars can effectively reduce environmental pollution. The lightweight design of automobiles has become an important consideration. As an important part of transportation, the wheel hub is one of the key contents of the current automobile lightweight research. This article analyzes the automotive wheel materials, material processing technology and wheel design of many brands today. It is found that the weight of the wheel hub is related to its material, processing method and shape. The use of light metal materials can achieve lightweight cars. The evolution of wheel material and processing technology is: traditional forging-personalized customization of digital 3D printing technology-small batch production. The progress of the processing technology largely affects the design of the wheel hub. The lightweight design of the wheel hub can directly affect the placement of the car's brake system. In the process of car driving, the shape of the wheel affects the comfort, safety, stability and so on.
