Alloy wheel crack repairs before and after.
01
Professional hydraulic press buckled wheel straightening and TIG crack welding (see above). Call Alloy Circles as we have the machinery and technical know how to safely repair your Alloys and to ensure that they roll true and straight again. We carefully heat up the Alloy wheels, please note during this process there is likely to be some damage and discolouration to the painted surface, whilst heat damage is not generally visible on the inside of the wheel, we recommend a full refurbishment of an Alloy wheel if the damage to be repaired is on the outside face of the wheel. !PLEASE NOTE:
The process of pushing out any flat spots or buckles in wheels involves considerable force by a hydraulic ram on the wheel straightening machine and whilst we will obviously apply our considerable skill and knowledge to the job in hand, it is not possible to guarantee the Alloy wheel will not crack, more especially with after market rims. Also after hitting a really bad pothole the impact may have caused a non visible hairline crack in the Alloy wheel which obviously cannot be seen prior to wheel straightening. Also if TPMS valves cannot be removed from the Alloys the heat needed to perform wheel straightening and wheel welding processes can damage them.

A professional Diamond cut wheel conversion into one single colour service, which is a far more durable, much more longer lasting and a less expensive option.

A professional vapour Blasting service or aqua blasting, wet blasting, slurry blasting or vapour honing as it is also know, is a non-destructive surface preparation technique that has been specially developed for applications requiring finer more delicate finishes. It removes ingrained dirt, contaminants, rust, and corrosion from a wide range of surfaces. Its the ideal way to clean and restore most metals: ferrous steel and iron, non-ferrous Aluminium, Magnesium, Titanium, Brass, Copper, Bronze and Stainless Steel and also some hard plastics.
Vapour Blasting is commonly used to clean engine components, Barrels, Case’s, Hubs, Brake Plate’s, Yoke’s, Fork’s, Turbo’s, Water Pump’s, Inlet Manifold’s, Rocker Cover’s, Fuel Rail’s, Engine Blocks & Piston’s, carburettors, engine Casings, Piston Heads, Gearboxes, and Brake callipers, we offer a brake calliper painting service.
Advantages of Vapour Blasting are its a dust free process, it cleans gently by the flow of water and very fine blast media, not by high pressure hard abrasive impact alone and the water acts as a lubricant between the media & component, which also importantly helps to avoid any media impregnation into soft materials.
All parts that are due to be cleaned are inspected for any corrosive weak spots or faults which may be damaged during the vapour blasting process.
All parts should be de-greased and bearings and bushes removed before vapour blasting can be carried out, but we can de-grease and remove bearings and bushes for you and re- fit new ones (you can supply they or we can source them for you (that's if they are still available) but obviously it will be at extra cost.

A professional blasting service in our large blast room, sand blasting as it is more commonly known, is really a method of forcibly propelling with compressed air a stream of different kinds of media particles fired under visual control, we actually use a fine grade grit as it does not severely pit the metals surface.
Abrasive blasting, media blasting or grit blasting as it is also known will smooth or roughen surfaces, it will gently etch away rust and corrosion and strip away old paint and other contaminants on many different materials.
