The design incorporates a split wheel mold, consisting of a lower wheel rim mold and an upper wheel rim mold. The mold is formed by the combination of a guide sleeve and a guide post assembly, along with a multi-forging manufacturing process, including three-stage quenching and tempering and hot rolling. This process creates a replaceable wheel rim mold cavity.
This design enables adjustable and reusable mold cavities, improving mold precision and production efficiency, reducing waste, and enhancing mold cavity quality and yield.
