Side Dual Gate
A method of pouring molten through gates on the side of a rim. Compared to center gate, side dual gate method allows weight reduction by improving mechanical properties and productivity.
Flow Forming
Technology of enabling weight reduction by 5% through fine micro structure of the rim. Also responsible for safe driving, it is applied to various vehicles including Hyundai Genesis Line, Kia Sorento and K5 models.
FSW(Friction Stir Welding)
A technique used to build Helmholtz Resonator in a wheel by joining the disc and rim using heat generated by friction between a non-consumable rotating tool and workpiece (disk and rim). With a hollow chamber inside the wheel, not only is weight reduced but NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) is improved for a smooth and silent ride.
