WHAT IS FLOWFORM?

Our FlowForm wheels are created using a unique casting and forming process that obtains strengths similar to a forged wheel.
The process begins by pouring molten aluminum into a mold face-side-down followed by rapid cooling.
By doing this, the aluminum alloy is condensed and in turn enhances the elastic strength and durability.

After the wheel is formed [a] it is pulled from the mold and placed into the flow forming tooling which is similar to the concept of a potters’ wheel.
This process stretches the barrel to a defined profile and thickness, ultimately giving the wheel its final shape [c].
This “stretching” improves the grain structure of the aluminum making it stronger, lighter and more precise than a non-flow formed barrel resulting in forged aluminum-like strength.
