ADV.1 FLOW FORMING PROCESS

HOW FLOW FORMED WHEELS ARE MADE AND WHAT MAKES THEM A STRONG ALTERNATIVE TO FORGED WHEELS AT A MORE AFFORDABLE PRICE POINT

FLOW FORMING IS AN INCREMENTAL METAL-FORMING TECHNIQUE USED TO MAKE WHEELS. WITH THIS TECHNOLOGY, A DISK IS FORMED OVER A MANDREL BY ONE OR MORE ROLLERS USING TREMENDOUS PRESSURE AND HEAT.
THE ROLLER DEFORMS THE WORK PIECE, FORCING IT AGAINST THE MANDREL. IN TURN, THE METAL IS BOTH AXIALLY LENGTHENED AND RADIALLY THINNED AT THE SAME TIME. WITH THIS TECHNIQUE,
THE PRESSURE EXERTED BY THE ROLLER IS HIGHLY LOCALIZED AND THE MATERIAL IS INCREMENTALLY FORMED. FLOW FORMING SUBJECTS THE METAL MATERIAL, WHERE, THANKS TO HEAT & PRESSURE APPLIED TO THE WHEEL,
THE MOLECULES OF THE ALUMINUM ARE IMPROVED, CREATING A STRONG & LIGHTWEIGHT WHEEL WITH CHARACTERISTICS SIMILAR TO THAT OF A FORGED WHEEL, BUT WITH A MUCH LOWER PRICE POINT.
IN TURN, THIS MAKES FLOW FORMED WHEELS MORE AFFORDABLE THAN THEIR FORGED COUNTERPARTS AND STRONGER THAN CAST WHEELS
