How Millions of Aluminum Alloy Wheels Are Manufactured Inside Massive Production Lines

How Millions of Aluminum Alloy Wheels Are Manufactured Inside Massive Production Lines Millions of aluminum wheels are produced every year — built to endure vehicle weight, cornering force, potholes, extreme heat, and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road. Yet almost no one ever sees how these seemingly simple circles of metal are actually created from ore, refined into pure aluminum, alloyed, shaped, machined, and finished with flawless precision. In this documentary, The Factoran takes you inside massive industrial plants where bauxite is crushed and refined into alumina, electrolyzed at nearly one thousand eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit, then cast into billets or forged under six to ten thousand tons of pressure. Inside five-axis CNC centers spinning at twelve thousand revolutions per minute, each rim is carved to micron accuracy — every spoke, bolt hole, and inner barrel shaped exactly to engineering specification. The surface is then powder-coated, color-finished, cured at three hundred seventy-five degrees Fahrenheit, and inspected under UV penetrant testing to detect cracks finer than a human hair. 💬 Did you know a single forged wheel can be up to forty percent stronger than a cast wheel — and one production line can manufacture hundreds of units per day?
