Review of VSMPO Vega discs

In recent years, almost all cars have been equipped with forged and forged wheels. And their popularity is associated not only with the aesthetic function, but also with technical characteristics. They, in contrast to regular steel parts, are more durable, lightweight and yet durable. However, to make the discs really meet all these requirements, you need to make the right choice. Today's article we would like to devote to the Russian production of VSMPO "Vega", which have become very popular in the domestic market.

VSMPO is an integral part of VSMPO-AVISMA's main corporation. It is a major Russian producer of rolled metal products, titanium products, aluminum alloys and parts having a nickel base. In addition, this company produces metal pressed parts, as well as semi-finished products of alloy steel.

Manufacturing technology

Each development of a new wheel is accompanied by a number of technical studies using innovative computer equipment. The very production of VSMPO "Vega" discs starts with the casting of blanks, which after a while are sent under the hydraulic press for molding. Future disks pass through several stages of pressing, until they get the proper shape.

After the VSMPO wheels have found the desired shape and design, they are sent for inspection. There, with the use of appropriate technical equipment, the product passes numerous tests, after which it is sent for painting. VSMPO discs are coloring using high-tech materials and tools. This process takes place in three stages. First, a surface layer is applied to the disc, which consists of powder soil and liquid lacquer. Further, its surface is treated with liquefied metallized paint.

Each new batch of products is then sent for another check. Here they are placed in a special laboratory, where VSMPO disks are checked for operability. Only after that, the factory makes a decision, whether to allow this or that product for sale or not. Thus, the risk of selling defective goods is reduced to zero.

Thanks to the multi-level high-technology production technology, VSMPO Vega wheels can withstand operation at the most extreme temperatures. They retain their strength in winter and summer, all the time remain as attractive as they were originally in the store. Therefore, these drives are excellent not only for domestic VAZ, but also for many foreign cars of Japanese and German production.

As for the cost, VSMPO "Vega" can be purchased at a price of 3 to 6 thousand rubles. The disc, which is presented in the third photo, costs about 5 thousand rubles. Basically, the price depends on the size of the product. And since VSMPO produces disks ranging in diameter from 13 to 17 inches, the price range is very wide. The main thing that is in all products of this production is high-strength and wear-resistant steel, thanks to which the wheel will serve for several decades.
