Step-by-Step Alloy Wheel Crack Repair Process
Step-by-Step Alloy Wheel Crack Repair Process – What Happens at Onyx Alloys
Step-by-Step Repair Process
Step 1
Initial Inspection & Crack Assessment
Our technicians begin by thoroughly inspecting the wheel for visible cracks, hairline fractures, or hidden damage. We assess the severity, location, and repairability of the crack to determine if welding is a safe and viable option.
Step 2
Tyre Removal & Wheel Preparation
Once approved for repair, the tyre is safely removed, and the wheel is cleaned to remove any dirt, brake dust, or contaminants. This ensures the crack is clearly visible and ready for precise repair.
Step 3
Crack Grinding & Cleaning
The cracked area is ground back to bare metal to expose the full extent of the damage. This step is essential to ensure a strong bond and remove any corrosion or weak material from the weld zone.
Step 4
Precision TIG Welding
Using TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, we carefully repair the crack by applying new alloy material. This method delivers a high-strength, clean weld that restores the wheel’s structural integrity.
Step 5
Grinding, Shaping & Finishing
After welding, the repaired area is smoothed and shaped to match the original wheel profile. Our technicians ensure a seamless finish that’s both strong and visually tidy.
Step 6
Pressure Testing & Final Checks
Finally, the wheel is pressure tested to confirm the repair holds under load. Once cleared, the tyre is refitted, and the wheel is balanced – ready to go back on your vehicle.
