Manufacturing Process

CNC Machined Billet (precision finish) / Forged + CNC Finish (high strength)

Surface Finish

0.4–0.8 μm Ra (polished blades); Anodized (Al) / Micro-blasted (Ti) for fatigue resistance

Operating RPM Range

50,000–250,000 RPM (burst speed ≥1.5x max RPM; tested per SAE J1723)

Certification Standards

ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949, SAE J1723 (turbocharger testing), OEM-specific validations

Technical Advantages

Manufacturing the Turbocharger Compressor Wheel involves multi-axis CNC machining with tolerances held to ±0.01 mm. Critical dimensions such as blade thickness, wheel diameter, and hub bore are tightly controlled to ensure compatibility with turbocharger housings. The compressor wheel undergoes dynamic balancing to ISO G6.3 standards, significantly reducing vibrations that cause fatigue. These precision controls increase the Turbocharger Compressor Wheel’s mechanical reliability and operational lifespan by limiting stress concentrations.

Materials chosen for the Turbocharger Compressor Wheel prioritize strength-to-weight ratios and resistance to thermal fatigue. Aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloys serve well in moderate thermal conditions, delivering tensile strengths above 500 MPa. For extreme thermal environments, titanium alloys provide superior creep resistance and maintain dimensional stability at rotational speeds exceeding 150,000 RPM. The material ensures the Turbocharger Compressor Wheel retains integrity under centrifugal and thermal stresses.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

How does Frigate ensure precision in manufacturing Turbocharger Compressor Wheels?

Frigate utilizes advanced multi-axis CNC machining to achieve dimensional tolerances of ±0.01 mm, which is critical for optimal performance. Dynamic balancing to ISO G6.3 standards minimizes vibrations and mechanical stress. This precision manufacturing reduces failure risks and enhances the operational reliability of the compressor wheel. Quality checks include CMM inspection and ultrasonic flaw detection to ensure the production of defect-free components.

What materials does Frigate use for high-performance Turbocharger Compressor Wheels?

Frigate selects aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloys for standard applications due to their high strength-to-weight ratio. For high-speed or thermally demanding environments, titanium alloys are employed for their superior fatigue and thermal resistance. Material selection is tailored based on operating RPM, temperature, and engine requirements. This ensures that each compressor wheel maintains structural integrity under extreme centrifugal and thermal loads.

How does Frigate optimize compressor wheel design to reduce turbo lag?

Frigate applies Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimize blade geometry and reduce mass. Structural optimization lowers rotational inertia without compromising strength, allowing faster spool-up times. The reduced inertia enhances transient response and engine efficiency. This process strikes a balance between mechanical durability and aerodynamic performance, resulting in superior turbocharger operation.

What quality assurance protocols does Frigate follow for Turbocharger Compressor Wheels?

Frigate conducts comprehensive inspections, including ISO 1940 coordinate measuring machine (CMM) verification for dimensional accuracy. Non-destructive testing such as ultrasonic flaw detection identifies internal defects. Dynamic balancing tests simulate operational RPM to ensure vibration levels remain within safe limits. Final products comply with industry standards, such as and SAE J2597, to ensure performance and safety.

How does Frigate address thermal stresses in Turbocharger Compressor Wheels?

Frigate engineers select materials with high creep resistance and thermal stability, such as titanium alloys, for high-temperature applications. Surface treatments, such as anodizing and thermal barrier coatings, reduce heat absorption and protect against oxidation. These treatments preserve blade geometry and prevent deformation during rapid thermal cycles. The combination of materials and coatings enhances the wheel’s durability in harsh thermal environments.
