Alcoa presents new wheels built using aerospace technology
By Andrew C., 30 Aug, 2010. 0 Comments
Alcoa announced that it has built wheels using aerospace technology, improving performance and dynamics while at the same time, reducing fuel consumption and emissions. The new 20-inch Alcoa wheels have been made with aerospace-derived metallurgy, the same method used to manufacture wheels for the Boeing 747 airplane. The forging process improves the strength while reduces weight over cast or multi-piece wheels. Pricing for the new 20-inch Alco rims, which weigh 7.5 kg, will be announced at a later date.
