An iron tyre is fitted onto a train wheel by first heating the tyre until it expands, allowing it to be placed over the wheel's rim more easily. Once the tyre is in position, it is cooled, which causes it to contract and fit tightly around the wheel. This process ensures a secure fit, as the contraction creates a strong bond between the tyre and the wheel. Finally, any necessary adjustments or finishing touches are applied to ensure proper alignment and functionality.

Why iron rims are heated red hot before fixing them on cart wheels?

By heating the rim on the forge to make it expand enough to slip over the wheel. The hot rim was then hammered onto the wheel so that it was properly centered and aligned. The rim and wheel were then set aside to cool, during which time the rim shrank back to its original size locking it to the wheel.

Why is the diameter of iron rim kept slightly smaller than wooden wheel on which this rim is to be mounted?

The iron rim is kept slightly smaller than the wooden wheel so that when the iron expands due to heat, it will fit snugly onto the wooden wheel without causing any issues. This allows for a secure and stable fit between the two components.
