The flow forming process aligns the metal’s grain structure, making these wheels about 30% stronger than standard cast wheels. This increased strength means better impact resistance and higher load ...

The method of obtaining blanks is linked to the flow-forming process. Tapered flow-forming uses cut or sheared blanks from rolled sheet metal. Pre-forming becomes necessary to obtain cones with a very ...

During testing, the first rifled, cobalt-alloy machine gun barrel ever produced using the "flow forming" process consistently reached high temperatures without degraded performance.
