Do you know the difference between forged wheels and cast wheels? What is the benifit of the forged rims?

let's share you these:

1. Raw Material:

Casting wheels use A356 alumimum;

Forged wheels use forged 6061 aluminum;

2. Manufacturing Process

Casting, Melt the A356 aluminum ingot into aluminum water and pour it into mold for cooling and processing. Liquid 3 series aluminum,Low density, the content of silicon is up to 6.5%-7.5%.High silicon content results in embrittlement,lack of toughness,and poor strength.

Forging: Forming and processing of 12000 ton forging aluminium cake,Solid state 6 series aluminum,Low silicon content,only0.6%-0.8%,high density and good toughness.

3. Hardness

after heat treatment70-90degree centigrade

Casting wheels, after heat treatment70-90degree centigrade

Forged wheels, after heat treatment 120-140degree centigrade

4. Tenile

Casting wheels, 5%

Forged wheels, 13%

5. Weight: the same size, same model casting wheels are heavier than forged wheels.

for example 18inch

Casting wheels, about 11kg

Forged wheels, about 7kg to 8kg

Compared casting wheels, forged wheels rims are lightweight and high performance. And the appearance, forged wheels more cooler and luxury.
