Procast flow-formed wheels stand out in the industry for their superior performance -lightness, strength, and tenacity. Elevate driving experience with Procast carefully crafted flow formed wheels. Procast uses advanced flow-forming technology, which enables us to offer superior products in the field of rim manufacturing. By using flow-forming technology, we are able to achieve high-quality, high-precision production to meet your various needs for rims.
Crafting Tomorrow’s Performance Today
Our commitment to innovation and excellence is exemplified in every step of our industrial process. We innovate at every production stage and aim to redefine standards for flow-formed wheel technology. From melting to casting, processing, and finishing-each step has a quality inspection department to ensure uniformity in the final products. In every production phase, we merge scientific precision with aesthetic finesse, crafting wheels that transcend expectations.
The journey begins with the superior AlSi7Mg alloy melted at 1000°C and purified through a melt-cleaning process. The molten liquid is then cast with a controlled cooling process tailored to each wheel. This process ensures a flawless microstructure of the wheel blank. Rigorous inspections follow, with each blank X-rayed for pores and inclusions to discard sub-bar pieces. Distortion measurements are also conducted, ensuring perfection in each piece.
Mechanical pre-processing and careful heating to 300°C ensure a malleable microstructure. Three rotating rollers applying 10t of pressure via a custom wheel matrix shape the wheels. The tremendous pressure creates flow formed rims with an astonishing thickness of 2.25mm without compromising strength.We use double-sided flow forming technology to achieve deformation processing of metal workpieces by applying force at the same time, which helps to improve the forming accuracy and improve production efficiency.
Procast factory flow-formed wheels undergo an intense heat treatment, enhancing grain structure for improved strength, ductility and toughness. ‘Solution annealing’ dissolves alloying elements and rapid quenching, then cools the blanks to 70°C to reinforce molecular bonds. A rigorous artificial ageing (heat treatment) process equips wheels with the desired stability, dimensional control and strength values.
Cutting-edge CNC machines carefully shape the wheels to the final dimensions and weight. Specialized machining, taking twice the time of regular cast wheels, reduces mass to an exact 10.8kg. Careful inspection and polishing prepare them for lacquering. A final helium gas leak test ensures only perfection passes through.
A six-step comprehensive finishing ensures visual appeal and weather resistance. Careful pre-treatment removes the tiniest specks of dust, and a smooth base powder is spread. Coloured paint is then evenly applied via electrostatic coating and compressed air spraying. Three-dimensional laser engraving adds detail, and a final transparent lacquer seals everything in. Staff members then scrutinise each piece to ensure compliance with BBS quality standards.
The inclusion of stainless steel collision protection marks the final stage in our process, guaranteeing the long-lasting durability of the wheel. By incorporating this advanced feature, we provide an additional layer of protection that safeguards the wheel against any potential collisions or impacts. With stainless steel collision protection, we prioritize the longevity and reliability of our wheels, ensuring that they continue to perform at their best for years to come.
Procast flow-formed wheels redefine the concept of lightness, giving vehicle agility and smoothness on the road. The superior AlSi7Mg spun aluminium alloy has excellent ductility despite weighing less. In addition, our flow-forming process allows us to create the thinnest flowform rims, while maintaining mechanical strength and toughness.
Procast flow-formed wheels are designed to be robust and strength, providing resilience on both the road and the track. Unlike typical liquid castng, the alloy is not entirely converted to the ‘liquid-phase,’ but retains its semi-molten state, thereby retaining its integral strength.Â
Navigate any terrain with ease, thanks to the tenacious performance of our flow-formed wheels. Through the meticulous flow-forming process, we enhance the structural integrity of the wheels, ensuring they can withstand the harshest impacts and challenges on the road.Â
Our superior aluminium-flow-forming process increases the flexion and elasticity of our wheels. This enables them to endure higher stress impact before reaching their breaking point, making them an excellent fit for high-performance cars and flow formed truck wheels.
Procast wheels seamlessly blend aesthetic precision and high-perfomance functionality. Each Procast wheel undergoes a precise design process where every curve, contour, and line is carefully sculpted with purpose.
