FORGING BBS INTO THE FUTURE
The wheel blank is forged in a multi-stage forging process from the billet, which is made of a special aluminum alloy. In each of these stages the blank is processed and formed within a forging press using 8,000 – 10,000 tons of pressure. The blank is heated between each step to retain the temperature necessary for forming.
In stage 1 the billet is compressed into a disk. In stage 2 the disk is pressed in a special matrix to form a narrow wheel blank.
The additional stages are only applicable for designer forged wheels. Here, the wheel design is forged into the blank using a forging tool. Due to the extreme compression of the material, the blank already possesses excellent mechanical properties and a very high-quality material microstructure. Any pores or inclusions are eliminated within the compression process.
The mold forging process used by BBS forces the wheel into shape through heat and pressure – this is true forging, the strength achieved through these processes allows design features that lesser materials can not match. The elegant simplicity of a BBS forged wheel is matched by the complexity of the manufacturing process to achieve a result that is greater than the sum if it’s parts.
