Forged wheels are currently the most advanced method for manufacturing aluminum rims. Its most prominent advantages are high strength, higher safety, strong plasticity, light weight, good heat dissipation, and fuel saving.
1. Sturdy, durable and safer Forged aluminum rings are 1-2 times stronger than cast aluminum rings and 4-5 times stronger than ordinary iron rings, so they are stronger and more resistant to collisions, and their toughness and fatigue resistance are also significantly better than cast wheels. Shattered and broken, the safety is stronger.
2. Lightweight and more fuel-efficient Compared with casting, forged wheels of the same size can be about 20% lighter in weight, and 1KG lighter on the wheel can increase 10 horsepower. In addition, the light weight has also significantly improved the response speed of the suspension. The response speed of the suspension system is faster, and it is naturally easier to deal with potholes on the road.
3. Fuel-efficient and good heat dissipation According to Japanese experiments, every 1kg weight reduction of a 5-seater car can save about 20L of gasoline a year, and a research report published by the Society of Automotive Engineers in the United States pointed out that although forged wheels are more expensive than ordinary cast wheels, they are less expensive than ordinary cast wheels. In the long run, the cost can be recovered when the car reaches 10,000-30,000 kilometers.
In addition, the heat dissipation effect of forged wheels is better. During long-distance high-speed driving, it can make the brake drum and tires not easy to age, increase the service life, and reduce the risk of tire blowout.
