Production process on aluminum wheel for commercial vehicle

Melting 01. Melting · A process of melting a lump of aluminum alloy by using a metal melting furnace
Forging 02. Forging · A process of making a forging material by putting melt aluminum material on an open mold and pressing with 3,000-ton press machine.
Hub Hole Cutting 03. Hub Hole Cutting · A process where the wheel’s central part is removed for smooth post-processing work as the wheel’s central part where axle hub’s wheel guide is inserted is unnecessary in forging material.
Heat Treatment 04. Heat Treatment · A process where T6 heat treatment is carried out to have strength suitable for mounted and used on the vehicle.
Machining 05. Machining · A precision processing where the size and surface gloss are determined based on specification for mounting wheel on the vehicle.
Air Leak Test 06. Air Leak Test · A test for checking air leakage in a wheel
X-Ray Inspection 07. X-Ray Inspection · A process where X-ray is applied on the product to check foreign substances or defects such as pore inside product.
Surface Treatment 08. Surface Treatment · A process for cleaning the wheel after processing and coating the wheel for delaying surface corrosion
Final Inspection 09. Final Inspection · Visual Inspection on Product before Packing
