How forged car wheels are made?

The manufacturing process of forged automobile wheels mainly includes the following steps:
Preparation of raw materials: High-quality alloy materials are selected as the raw materials for the wheels.
Heating and forging: The alloy material is heated to the appropriate temperature to make it soft and malleable. Then, forging machines are used to press or extrude the material to form the initial shape of the wheel.
Roughing: Once forged, the wheel is roughly machined to remove excess material and unevenness.
Finishing: Next, the wheel is subjected to finishing operations, including drilling, turning and milling, to ensure that the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the wheel meet the requirements.
Heat treatment: In order to improve the mechanical properties and durability of the hub, heat treatment, such as quenching and tempering, is required.
Inspection and quality control: Strict inspections are carried out on the finished wheels, including dimensional measurements, hardness tests, non-destructive testing, etc., to ensure that the products meet the relevant standards and requirements.
In addition, please note that the manufacturing process of forged automobile wheels may vary depending on different processes and equipment. Therefore, in practice, it needs to be adjusted and optimized according to specific process requirements and equipment conditions.
