• Stronger welds with directed energy (laser) technology

• Minimized defects – less pinholes, no flux, no spatter

• Increased reliability – precise welds = fewer failures

• Cleaner appearance – better aesthetics and paint adhesion

• Reduced fatigue cracking – longer wheel life

Conventional Method (Butt Welding):

• Uses electrical upset welding.

• Ends clamped, heated with current, then pushed together.

• Common defects: pinholes, impurities, leaky rims.

    Saylor Wheel Method (Laser Keyhole Welding):

• Precisely cut, aligned ends joined with high-energy laser.

• Laser creates a keyhole of vaporized iron that liquifies steel.

• No upset, minimal impurities, less pinholes.

• Active shielding gas forms during weld, reducing oxidation.

• Welds complete in milliseconds with small HAZ.

Conventional Method (MIG/TIG):

• Welds disc to rim with wire or rod.

• Large HAZ, weld spatter, and visible imperfections.

• Weaker weld zones more prone to rust and fatigue cracks.

Saylor Wheel Method (Laser Seam Welding):

• Laser fuses disc to rim with high precision weld 

• Penetrates deeper than rim thickness for maximum shear strength.

• Small, clean weld with minimal HAZ and no spatter.

• Stronger, longer-lasting welds with better paint adhesion.

• Every weld is inspected 200%, marked after assembly by QC label after powder painting

• Welds are audited with both destructive and non-destructive methods.

• Directed energy welding preserves steel strength in key areas.

• Minimized fatigue cracks mean fewer failures in the field.
