1. Low-pressure casting wheel

Low-pressure casting is well understood, that is, set a good grinding tool, then pour the melted aluminum material into the grinding tool, and then apply a certain pressure to make the internal molecules more closely, this is low-pressure casting, the current market factory car is basically using this wheel. Because of the high cost performance, good production, so the price is also cheap and affordable.

2. Spinning wheel

Spinning is actually more complex process on top of low-pressure casting, also low-pressure casting out, but the wheel rim part with the spinning machine side heating side rotary stamping, so out of the wheel, the wheel rim part of the molecular density can be enhanced, the corresponding wheel rim more rigid, so many car owners choose the spinning wheel, of course, should be too expensive forging, spinning between casting and forging to take a middle value, both The price/performance ratio also has performance, and the current price of spun wheels is between the two. Likewise, the spinning wheel and low-pressure casting with the same A356 casting aluminum.

3. Forged wheels

Forged wheels are different from the aluminum used in the above two, with 6061 forged aluminum, in terms of rigidity is similar to the difference between the iPhone6 and iPhone6S in previous years, one was bent, forged wheels not only in aluminum and rigidity above the advantages, weight is also the reason why many people choose, lightweight means lower fuel consumption, better control of the body. The most important thing is that forging support customization, like how to do can be, engineers according to the requirements of the drawing, and then milled out on the forged aluminum embryo, while the first two do not support, after all, no manufacturer will go back to the mold. This is why forging is expensive.
