We use state-of-the-art technology in producing all of our wheels, from the rotary forging to the spin forging process to make the lightest and strongest wheels available. Utilizing our processes we have improved rim flange wear life far beyond the competitions wheels. In addition, our load ratings are also higher than our competitor’s products. Our 22.5 x 14 super single wheels are optimized to deliver superior tire life and since our rim flanges our stronger they double the rim flange life without additional cost.
Technology
The rotary forging process has significant advantages over conventional forging. Rotory forging produces a very tight grain structure. When combined with spinning this state-of-the-art technology results in substantial benefits in the internal structure of heavy duty aluminum wheels.
- It is a CCIF (Computer Controlled Incremental Forming) process used to progressively form the material into the shape desired.
- This rotary forging process orientates and aligns the aluminum grain structure in a radial pattern for maximum strength.
- Material incremental deformation is achieved by combined rotational movement and axial compression.
- Greater surface finish quality (no cracks as a result of impact as in closed forging) as the material flow is incremental.
- Material hardening and optimized grain structure
- More uniform mechanical properties.
Computer Controlled Spinning Technology, which is a metalworking process utilizing a mandrel and multiple rollers to efficiently produce near net shape axis symmetric parts in moderate to high volume.
- It is a Precision CCFF (Computer Controlled Flow Forming) process where rollers form the material against the mandrels to produce the rim profile.
- This enables us to achieve the distinctive material properties with uniform grain flow and surface finish in the rim area.
