Are Flow Formed Wheels Safe?
1 Answers
Flow formed wheels are very safe. Wheels that are formed using the flow forming method are called flow formed cast wheels. Characteristics of flow formed wheels: Combining the features of forging, extrusion, stretching, bending, ring rolling, rolling, and extrusion processes, cast products have advantages such as high quality, good flexibility, and lightweight. Flow formed wheels can maintain the metal density and dynamic balance of the entire wheel, significantly reducing material thickness while ensuring sufficient stiffness, making the wheels lighter and more durable. Wheel maintenance precautions: Use appropriate cleaners: Household cleaners and common dishwashing detergents on the market can be too alkaline or acidic, which can be highly corrosive to the wheel surface. You can choose some neutral soap water for cleaning to avoid exposing the wheels to strong chemicals. Avoid cleaning when the wheels are too hot: When the wheels are at a high temperature, never clean them directly with cold water. Wait for them to cool down naturally before cleaning. Otherwise, it may damage the aluminum alloy wheels or even cause brake disc deformation, affecting braking performance. Clean the wheels properly: When there are stubborn stains on the wheel surface, use professional cleaners to gently and effectively remove the stains, minimizing damage to the aluminum alloy surface. Develop good driving habits: Be mindful of low obstacles on the road and avoid parking too close to the curb, as this can easily scratch the wheels and compromise driving safety.
