In a turbocharger, the compressor wheel<\/strong> is one of the most important components determining the performance, efficiency, and reliability of the entire system. This component is responsible for drawing in and compressing the air for the engine, rotating at extremely high speeds that can exceed 200,000 rpm<\/strong>. Under such extreme operating conditions, the choice of material for the wheel is crucial. <\/p>\n In recent years, compressor wheels made of Avional<\/strong>, a high-performance aluminum alloy that offers numerous advantages over traditional solutions, have become increasingly popular.<\/p>\n But what are the characteristics that make this material particularly suitable for turbocharger applications?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Alice|700|||||||” text_text_color=”#067aac” text_font_size=”26px”
