Wheels India rolls out flow form technology equipped in cast alloy wheel

Steel wheels manufacturer, Wheels India Ltd has launched flow form technology equipped in cast alloy wheel considered one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies in the wheel industry, the company said on Tuesday.

The city-headquartered company recently commenced shipment of the flow forming wheel to the United States and expects to unveil the product soon in the domestic market.

The product was recently showcased at the Auto Expo in New Delhi. Currently Wheels India Ltd operates from a state-of-the-art aluminium plant in Thervoy Kandigai, near Chennai, a company statement said here.

According to the company, the Flow Form Technology involves the application of pressure to the inner barrel of the wheel while spinning and after it has been casted. This process stretches and compresses the aluminium, which increases the tensile strength.
