[ "Facts of Alloy Wheel RepairingMost of the cars come with alloy wheels which are by far the best-suited wheels for all vehicles. It is mainly because of two reasons. One is its attractive appearance, and the other is its capacity to get repaired easily. But it has a process too. Let us know a little in detail about how these alloy wheels are repaired.Wheel RepairingThere is a way of doing everything, and so it is also the same for the repairing of alloy wheels.1.Assess the DamageThe first step is to detect the exact problem so that it can be known what needs repairing in it and how to move forward with it. There are so many ways of affecting the alloy wheels, but it is hard to understand exactly how far it has bent or got deformed. Either the damage has to be big enough to be visible to the naked eye or else it needs to be X-rayed. But the process of X-ray is too costly. But as alloy wheels are mostly made of aluminium alloys, it doesnt get affected that easily. So it is better to not go for an X-ray. In case of massive impact, cracks and fractures become visible in plain sight as well. But for the wheels with a low amount of nickel in them, dents can be treated and fixed. It doesnt break under high temperature; on the other hand, in case of high content nickel in wheels, it gets tough to fix dents as it is prone to breakage, though it is hard and shall not get damaged easily.2.Repair The WheelsThe next move after detection of damage is Alloy Wheel Repair Aldershot. There was the concept of fixing dents by hammering them out. But that is the old way of doing it and also for the steel wheels. At present, with every other technology development, repairing methods and machines are also developed over time. Currently, the use of a hammer has been replaced with a computerised hammering machine.The process involves first the detection of the level of damage, and then after clamping tightly, it is heated to a high temperature. Then the deformed section is straightened out using hydraulic rams. In this way, both radial and lateral straightening are possible. While this might be a plus side of the process, the downside would be the cost of it. It is higher than the wheel replacement.3.Backyard Repairing MethodThe other effective way of repairing is the backyard method of repairing. It is when the damaged part is heated using acetylene torches and, then it is beaten into the proper shape. But this method is not preferable as the impressions created are not visible instantaneously but later; moreover, the process does not promise a complete and successful solution of the damage either.4.Minor Repairing MeansThe process of repairing minor faults and damages of the wheel is fixed using the wheel restoration kit, which is available in the market. Such means are effective for minor issues and damage repair of wheels that are simple and not that complex to deal with." ]
