With the development of society, wheelchairs have become an indispensable aid. When choosing a wheelchair, the material is a very important consideration. One of the most popular materials on the market today is lightweight aluminum alloy. The following JIANLIAN wheelchair manufacturers will take you through what wheelchair materials are available for you to make the best choice.

Steel for wheelchairs Steel

It is currently the most widely used material in the wheelchair manufacturing industry and has the longest history of application. The main types of steel used for wheelchair frame materials are alloy steel, stainless steel and carbon structural steel. Although the technology of steel tubes for wheelchairs has been quite mature, but through the optimization of the composition, advanced heat treatment process and processing technology, so that the steel tube wall to ensure the performance of the premise to achieve a more ideal thickness, steel tube wheelchair quality continues to reduce, but the wall thickness of steel tubes used as a wheelchair frame is almost close to the limit, in the light weight of higher requirements, steel wheelchairs is difficult to break through.

Titanium alloy for wheelchairs

Titanium alloy is used in many fields such as aerospace, machinery, medical and energy because of its light weight, high strength, good toughness, high and low temperature resistance, non-toxicity and good corrosion resistance. With a higher specific strength than aluminum, titanium alloys are basically non-corrosive in general environments and do not require additional anti-corrosion treatment. The main advantages of titanium wheelchairs are sturdiness, light weight, comfort, aesthetics and long service life. Titanium is mainly used in wheelchair series for sports wheelchairs, such as basketball wheelchairs and racing wheelchairs, and its use in general wheelchairs is limited by its high price.

Magnesium alloy for wheelchairs

Magnesium alloy is currently the lightest commercially available metal structural material in the world. Compared with other structural materials, magnesium alloy has a series of advantages: outstanding specific strength and stiffness; good casting performance, suitable for high-pressure casting; apparent fatigue without memory; better dynamics; excellent vibration damping characteristics relative to steel, aluminum and other metal parts; good machinability; easy recycling. The most important problem of making magnesium alloy wheelchair is: magnesium alloy as a structural material, its corrosion resistance is relatively poor. So there is no magnesium alloy wheelchair on the market yet.

The biggest advantage of the lightweight aluminum wheelchair is its light weight. Compared to traditional steel wheelchairs, aluminum wheelchairs are usually lighter in weight, which makes it easier for users to push it. It is also more portable and easy to travel with.

In addition, aluminum wheelchairs are also very strong and durable. It is able to withstand a lot of weight, while being resistant to corrosion and oxidation. This is very important for those who need to use the wheelchair for a long time

Overall, the lightweight aluminum wheelchair is an excellent choice. It's lightweight, rugged and durable, as well as aesthetically pleasing, all of which are perfect for a variety of needs. If you are looking for a wheelchair that is easy to use and durable, a lightweight aluminum wheelchair would be a good choice.
