Wheels India Limited, a TSF Group company, that derives its legacy from the erstwhile TVS Group – one of the largest automotive groups based out of India – is showcasing their recently launched cast flow form wheel at the Auto Expo 2023.
Flow forming technology in cast alloy wheel is one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies in the wheel industry.
Flow Forming Technology involves the application of pressure to the wheel while spinning and after it has been casted. This process stretches and compresses the aluminium, which enhances mechanic properties. In this respect the process shares similar properties to those found in the forging process. The final product is lighter, stronger and a much greater shock resistance over a traditional cast wheel (of the same design).
The flow form wheel is said to be available in India and the foreign markets by the end of this financial year.
