1 Type One-Piece Cast Wheels This is the type of aluminum alloy wheels are most commonly found and is the most simple process. Casting is a printing process (using the appropriate mold shape design alloy wheels) through the pouring of molten aluminum. It's that simple definition, but from the results we can see many wheels legends have been produced. 1.1.1GRAVITY CASTING Gravity casting is the most basic casting process, which is just by pouring molten aluminum into a mold utilizing gravity to meet the print. So the key is in the mold design really takes into account the direction of gravity so that the density of the form can be obtained. The advantage is clear: prices are cheaper production. But of course these designs can not accommodate the factor of "weight reduction", since gravity requires a melt density results in large amounts, which will automatically increase the weight of the wheels. The density of aluminum can not be set in such a way, the air is still easy to follow mixed. So usually the model will increase the weight of wheels if you want to add such a seasoned kekuatannya.Produsen Enkei itself is still doing the one-piece casting, but with various modifications are developed. 1.1.2 LOW PRESSURE CASTING Low pressure casting uses an additional pressure to pour molten aluminum into the mold, so that the casting process is faster and the condition can be more dense than aluminum gravity casting. Pressure can be gained from playing the mold itself, there are also some tools that helped. With the price of production is not far from the gravity casting, low pressure casting process is now becoming very common. Some wheel manufacturers have also developed a process with a variety of tools and measures pressure, for the creation of lighter wheels. Surely the cost of the development process will also make follow-up the price of his wheel. 1.1.3 Spun-Rim, Flow-Forming or Rim Rolling Technology This is one of the development of the low pressure casting; using a machine that plays khsuus initial casting; heats the outer portion of her casting; then use pressure steel roller wheels so as meenghasilkan final form. The combination of heat, pressure and playback it generates a strong cross-section wheels - forged similar to, but more cheaply. Many wheels that use this method successfully achieve 'ideal' light wheel with a reasonable cost, although not cheap. BBS has used this technology to its line of his F1 and Indy Cars. Examples of its aftermarket types are BBS RC. Enkei also has tried this technique, as it Enkei J Speed 3. In fact, MAT (The Most Advanced Technology) Enkei it is a development of this technology. A. Forged

Computerized Forging Machines, accurate details! Without an opponent, this is the latest technology in construction 1 piece wheels. Forging is the process of compressing solid billet aluminum with an extreme emphasis. As a result, an aluminum product that is very dense, strong and very light. But factor in the cost of equipment, and the development process, making this way not many are able to do so. Then be exclusion, despite soaring prices demand remains high. Wheels forged aluminum alloy metal rely comprising a mixture of aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), magnesium (Mg), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), vanadium (V), titanium (Ti), bismuth (Bi), gallium (Ga), lead (Pb) to zirconium (Zr). Well, the composition is played for its quality grade, there are series 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000 and 8000. One of the forged alloy wheels are seeded for 6061 that it was used for bone airplanes! Furthermore, this 6061 entry phase alloy forgings for roughly shaped wheels. This process requires a machine forging giant with strength wrought diverse, from 5,000, 8,000, 10,000 and even 15,000 tons. The method varied, even engineer patents the manufacturer to do. Nevertheless, generally use closeddies(mold/moldingspecial)precision. Then on the market we know the term T6 forgings, where forging dijabani 4000 Fahrenheit temperature (2040C). Forging process did not take place at all. Can rough shape, followed by the formation of spin forging process in order to obtain more precise shapes with precise kekonsentrisan. RM8000 homemade method Rays Wheels from Japan, menjabani spin up to 10,000 tonnes of forgings alleged imposition JWL + R standards B. Semi forgings In theory, some manufacturers assume technology Semi-Solid Forging (SSF) was the best, because it can combine the advantages of casting, especially in the creative design possibilities and advantages of forgings, especially for the purpose of lightweight and strength. Of course, the price would also be cheaper than forged. One of these is to apply SSR (Speed Star Racing) in Jepun. Some of the famous line of SSF include SSR Type C, SSR Type F, SprintHart CPF. In manufacturing, the mechanism actually still casting, but with a special flow forming and other techniques, he compresses the structure resembles aluminum forgings. In addition to the ability to influence CNC detail and aesthetic appearance drum rim and the bone, the CNC also dijabani to aspects of engineering; knows about the reduction of unsprung mass, inertia balance to the force construction

1.1.4 ARTS CUT And FINISHING Forged wheel technology challenges not only in the process of forging it. "Strength forged wheel manufacturer in the materials, processes, engineering to machining," said Wibowo Santosa of Consort Ban, Mahakam, South Jakarta classify. It looks at the process of cutting & finishing. Accomplished through the formation of a precise CNC machines that collaborate with 3D software, like AutoCAD, Catia to SolidWorks. And that's to be simulated prior to the FEA (finite element analysis) to describe the design and balancing power point gained, can use MSC Patran or SMC Superforge Simulator. It's complicated. It is precisely here that the art of a forged alloy wheels are born. Through multi-axis CNC (4, 5 even 6 axis) cuts, this ability measure, the quality of a product to detail the results of the design, weight, konsentrisan (accuracy axis), to the stability of the vibration. Finishing process Finished business intersect, forged alloy wheels completed with the formation of both assemblingnya and finishing. Problem finishing? "Most good high polish, most recently of the United States only. The others just brilliant mirror polish and polish 1.2 Tipe Multi-Piece Wheel Enkei RCS Sport, an example of two pieces-welded construction. The middle wheel is made terpish, then welded to the rim / lip velgVelg this type using 2 or 3 separate components are assembled into a wheel shape. Generally multi-piece wheels apply more than one method of manufacture. For example, the center made a casting or forged, while the edge of the wheel rim with the system it is made of spun aluminum. Separate components are then bolted, in-sealant or welded (welded) together. Model 3-piece itself began to develop in the early 1970s for racing, with consideration to pursue light-weight. No wonder the subsequent development of this model is so widely applied to R17 and above, with the same goal: to light.
