Aluminum Wheels
The drive towards weight reduction and increasingly stringent emissions creates a wide range of engineering opportunities for aluminum technologies. A process known as squeezeforming, enables a wide range of heat treatable alloys to give forged material properties through closely controlling the cooling and solidification of the molten aluminum under pressure, which gives excellent mechanical properties.
This technology has been used for over 20 years for the road wheels on armoured personnel vehicles, offering a 50% weight saving over the equivalent steel wheel.
