The Aluminium Forged Wheels Manufacturing Process
At MAIKONG, we’ve perfected the art and science of creating premium aluminium forged wheels. Our manufacturing process ensures exceptional quality and performance in every wheel we produce.
Material Selection
We begin with premium 6061-T6 aluminum alloy billets, selected for their optimal combination of strength, weight, and machinability.
Precision Forging
Using advanced rotary forging technology, we apply extreme pressure to align the metal’s grain structure, dramatically enhancing strength and durability.
CNC Machining
Our state-of-the-art CNC machines precisely shape each wheel to exact specifications, creating both functional excellence and aesthetic beauty.
Heat Treatment
Specialized heat treatment processes optimize the molecular structure of the aluminum, enhancing strength while maintaining lightweight properties.
Quality Testing
Rigorous testing ensures each wheel meets or exceeds industry standards for structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and performance.
Surface Finishing
Premium finishing options including anodizing, powder coating, and polishing provide both protection and customized aesthetics.
Forged vs. Cast Aluminium Wheels: The Critical Differences
