The WF Wheels are manufactured in two different manufacturing processes.
Our Flowforged R technology comes from the traditional Japanese flow forming process followed by contour milling and weight optimization using multi-axis CNC milling. The blank is produced by a special casting process and is extremely reinforced by rolling. With the right heat treatment and contour milling, we achieve a forged look at an affordable price. Thanks to the hybrid – baking finish, all the wheels in the finish are really perfect and durable.
The full-forged wheels are made entirely from a high-strength, fully forged T6061-M blank. This consists of a hardened material which is known from the aerospace industry. The enormous degree of purity and the special treatment make the material absolutely impact resistant and stable. These blanks are also partly fully milled in our own production in Germany and then powder coated. The result is groundbreaking and the quality and look set the bar to a new level.
FLOWFORGED R
Step 1
After the production of the flowforged blank, it is placed onto a rolling form and extremely heated using targeted heat.
Step 2
Special hydraulic rollers press the wheel by applying pressure to the rim, while targeted heat is used on the rotating form.
Step 3
Through precise rotation, the rollers shape the blank into the desired rim width. In the process, the material is extremely strengthened and made durable through compression.
Step 4
Once the high-strength blank is shaped into its final form, the rim is taken to the CNC department for milling and turning.
FULL FORGED
Step 1
The first step begins with cutting the raw T6061-M material. This material block is made from the same material used in the aerospace industry.
Step 2
Using compression and heat, the block is pressed and forged into a round shape. This shape serves as the preparation for the flowforming process that we use in our Flowforged R technology.
Step 3
Through precise rotation, the rollers shape the blank into the desired rim width. In this process, the material is significantly strengthened and made durable through compression.
Step 4
The blank is reduced in weight by 30% using the CNC lathe. The back of the rim is defined, and the rim bed is milled. This process shapes the blank. Now it can be finalized with vertical CNC machining.
Step 5
The clamped blank is machined on our ultra-fast 3+2 CNC milling machine, with speeds up to 15,000 RPM, and reaches its final shape within a few hours.
Step 6
After approximately 6 hours, the blank is ready for finishing. The rim is deburred and prepared for painting or powder coating.
