Tilt Cast is a special casting method for manufacturing wheel rims. This method was developed to produce rims that are stronger and lighter than conventional ones Cast rims. Unlike traditional casting processes, where the liquid metal is poured into a stationary mold, the tilt cast process tilts the mold as the metal is poured. This inclination directs the metal through the mold, resulting in better filling and distribution, thus ensuring greater strength and reduced porosity in the rim.
Tilt cast rims
The process begins with the creation of a steel mold that contains the design of the rim reflects. This mold is then placed in a casting machine that pours the liquid aluminum into the mold under high pressure. During the casting process, the mold is tilted to direct the liquid metal through the mold, resulting in an even fill and better distribution of the material.
- Casting of the rims: Aluminum is cast in a rotary mold that rotates around its longitudinal axis.
- By rotating the mold, the aluminum is evenly distributed and compacted, resulting in higher density and strength of the rims.
- Ceramic cores are inserted into the mold, creating the interior design and shape of the rim.
- The rotating movement of the mold also reduces the formation of air bubbles in the aluminum.
- The tilt cast process is efficient and economical because it can be carried out quickly and automatically.
After the rim has been cast, it is removed from the mold and goes through several steps of the heat treatment process to increase the rim's strength and hardness. This process includes normalizing, solution heat treatment and quenching. Finally, the rim is cleaned and polished to achieve a smooth surface.
Manufacturing with high precision!
The Tilt Cast process offers several advantages over traditional casting methods. It allows for greater strength and reduced porosity in the rim, resulting in longer life and higher performance. In addition, the process is more efficient and allows faster production of rims in large quantities.
And finally ...
- Tilt cast rims are a type of cast rims where the casting process is done at a tilted angle to achieve a unique design and structure. This angle creates a deeper concave inside the rim, resulting in a more aggressive and sporty look. Tilt Cast rims have forged-like strength but at a more affordable price.

We hope that you have received our information report on the topic / term TILT CASTING (Other designations/keywords are: Tilt Casting Technology, Tilt Casting Technology, Tilt Casting Rims, Tilt Casting Wheels) from the Autotuning category. Our goal is to create the largest German-speaking tuning lexicon (Tuning Wikipedia) and to explain tuning technical terms from A to Z easily and comprehensibly.
We are therefore expanding this lexicon almost daily and you can see how far we have already come HERE see. And soon the next tuning scene term illuminated by us. There's a theme that not can be found in our Wikipedia? Then send us an email at kontakt@tuningblog.eu and gives us the term. We will write a suitable article as soon as possible. PS. By the way, you will be informed about new topics if you have ours Feed subscriber.
Below are a few examples from our tuning lexicon:
But of course tuningblog has countless other articles on the subject of cars & car tuning in stock. Do you want to see them all? Just click HERE and look around. We would also like to provide you with news aside from the tuning. In our category Tips, products, information & Co we pick up contributions from car or accessory manufacturers. And also our category Test sites, laws, offenses, information has almost daily new information for you. Here are a few topics from our tuning wiki.
