The craftsmanship of forged wheels you want is here!

Manufacturing process of aluminum alloy forged wheels：

1. Feeding and cutting: 

The aluminum rod used for forging wheels is made of 6061, which is a military-grade aluminum material, and A356.2 aluminum used in general casting wheels; regardless of material, strength, ductility, and durability, they are far beyond. Cut the aluminum rod to the size you need to make the wheel.

2. Aluminum bar preheating:

Put the cut aluminum bar into the heating furnace for heating. After heating to the set temperature, once the material reaches a balanced temperature, take it out for forging.

3. Forging into embryos: 

Using a forging press with a capacity of more than 8,000 tons, the preheated aluminum material is forged into rough embryos by direct forging.

4. Powerful spinning forming:

Use a vertical spinning machine to spin the blank with 3 spinning wheels up to 25 tons per spinning wheel.

5. Heat treatment: 

After the aluminum wheel is formed by spinning, it needs heat treatment to strengthen it. The heat treatment process includes a. high temperature solution treatment, b. quenching water treatment, c. low temperature aging treatment.

6. Lathe processing: 

The prototype of the wheel, after heat treatment, is processed with a lathe, and the design shape is directly engraved.

7. Center hole and drilling processing: 

Drilling according to design, such as PCD 5x120, CB 72.5,6 and so on.

8. Wheel surface treatment: 

a. Finishing machining,

b. Surface polishing treatment,

c. Surface coating treatment.

9. The forged wheel is complete.
