The material of theregular casting wheels is A356.2, and that is T6061 for forged wheels. T6061 is a high strength material, and forged wheel is much lighter than regular casting wheel. It has higher strength, higher toughness, fatigue resistance, good corrosion resistance.

The process of forged aluminum wheels is to use a high pressure to press a piece of alloy that has been heated to nearly 500 degrees into a rough embryo of the wheel. Undergo a strong cold flow-forming process, and then enter T6 Heat treatment, and then secondary processing with CNC detail carving.

Due to high pressure axial forging and lateral super cold forging, the material structure will become very compact, so it can withstand more pressure. So based on the same size and strength, forged whees are also lighter than casting wheels.
