Compressor Wheel
For Automobile Turbochargers
Amid an expanding market for automobiles, global demand for turbochargers is growing, as they provide a relatively inexpensive means of improving environmental and fuel performance. Cast compressor wheels are key turbocharger components, and ours are highly valued by customers for their durability and dimensional precision.
Features
- Compressor wheel materials for turbochargers are manufactured in two ways according to customer needs: precision casting and machining.
- We perform mass production using both methods. For cast products, we use rubber and plaster molds to produce free and smooth curved surfaces. Machined products, meanwhile, can be produced to a high range of dimensional accuracy.
- Chips and offcuts generated in the process are recycled to realize effective use of resources.
Applications
- Automobile Turbochargers
Production Method
Casting
Low-Pressure Casting Method
In the low-pressure casting method, molten aluminum is poured into a product mold under low gas pressure. This method is superior to the conventional gravity casting method in that it reduces internal defects caused by the inclusion of aluminum oxide during casting and stably produces high-grade aluminum castings with superior strength, durability, and dimensional accuracy.
Machining
Compressor wheels are worked using a five-axis machining center. We provide high-quality products through an integrated production process that begins with alloy development.
