What are the Benefits?

Accepted Answer

Flow Forming Technology has a great number of benefits, making the Wheel industry and the end product a lot safer and efficient out on the road. Stronger - As well as creating a lighter wheel, Flow Forming Technology also allows for a stronger wheel. On average, Flow Formed Wheels create a 20-30% increase in tensile strength when compared to the conventional cast wheel. This allows for more shock resistance when out on the roads. Greater Shock Resistance - This greater shock resistance as mentioned above is a key benefit of the stronger, Flow Formed wheels as it adds to the increased stress capacity formed by the stretching and compressing of the original cast wheel. Increased Elongation - Elongation can also be described as the limit a wheel is able to flex before reaching breaking point. Flow Forming Technology provides an increase in elongation, both in the barrel and rear flange area which significantly increases the shock resistance in a potential hazard. Higher Load Rating - Due to the fact that producing wheels with Flow Forming Technology increases the tensile strength of a wheel design, this also yields a higher load rating in comparison to a conventional cast wheel.
