Difference between forged and cast wheels
Process principle Forged wheels are formed by heating metal billets to a certain temperature at high temperature, and then using mechanical equipment to deform the metal billets under pressure to form the required shape. Cast wheels are formed by heating metal billets to a liquid state, pouring them into molds, and solidifying them. Process characteristics Forged wheels have the advantages of high forming accuracy, good mechanical properties, and good surface quality, suitable for the production of high-quality wheel products. Cast wheels have low cost, high production efficiency, and are suitable for the production of large quantities of simple-shaped wheel products. Product performance Due to the plastic deformation during the forging process, the metal grains are rearranged, resulting in better mechanical and wear resistance properties for forged wheels. Cast wheels have lower density, coarser grain structure, and inferior mechanical and wear resistance properties compared to forged wheels. Cost difference The casting
