ABSTRACT:
A continuous forged annular flange (10) is provided for use in a wheel assembly (12) to support the side wall of a tire (14). The continuous forged flange eliminates butt welds used in prior designs which formed points for stress concentration. Further, the flange need not be cold worked and therefore has no induced stresses as present in prior designs which can lead to fatigue failure. In addition, the flange can be of a metal different than other parts of the wheel assembly to reduce electrolytic corrosion.
