Step 1
-
A cast wheel is mounted to the flow forming drum and heat is applied.
Step 2
-
Hydraulic rollers stretch the wheel by applying pressure to to the barrel.
Step 3
-
The wheel’s material is stretched and compressed to achieve the desired width.
Step 4
-
Stretching the barrel material improves the grain structure of the aluminum, making a stronger and lighter barrel, similar to a forged wheel.
