What Is Industrial Caster?
A caster is a device consisting of a single or multiple wheels, which may be the equipment or platform mounted on it to move. The casters are passively driven. Casters usually consist of wheels and brackets, sometimes with brake parts, etc. Casters are a general term, in...Read more -
How to Assemble Wax Trees During Lost Wax Casting Process
During lost wax casting process, to assembly the wax tree(s) is an important work. It has some influence on the quality of the raw castings and the fluidity of the molten metals, especially for the steel alloys. Here in the following we will try to introduce the basic s...Read more -
Mechanical Properties of Metal Castings
In metal foundry, the key to ensuring the quality of castings lies in enhancing the quality awareness of all employees within the enterprise, strengthening quality supervision and management over the entire production process of castings, stabilizing the production proce...Read more -
Precision Casting for Stainless Steel Castings
Precision casting is also called investment casting. This casting process minimizes or does not cut during the casting process. It is a casting method with a wide range of applications, high dimensional accuracy of the casting, and excellent surface quality. It is not in...Read more -
Surface Treatment of Metal Casting Parts
Metal surface treatment is a process of artificially forming a surface layer on the surface of a metal base material that is different from the mechanical, physical and chemical properties of the base. The purpose of surface treatment is to meet the product's corrosion r...Read more -
Heat-resistant Steel Castings and Their Heat Treatment
Heat-resistant steel castings are parts cast from heat-resistant alloy steel as raw materials. Under high temperature conditions, steel with oxidation resistance, sufficient high temperature strength and good heat resistance is called heat resistant steel. Heat-resistant...Read more -
Heat Treatment of Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel Castings
Precipitation hardening (PH) martensitic stainless steel generally contains alloying elements such as copper, lead, molybdenum, and titanium that form a hardened phase. These alloying elements have greater solubility in austenite, but very little in martensite. Therefore...Read more -
Heat Treatment of Austenitic Stainless Steel Castings
The as-cast structure of austenitic stainless steel castings is austenite + carbide or austenite + ferrite. Heat treatment can improve the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel castings. Equivalent Grade of Austenitic Stainless Steel AISI ...Read more -
Heat Treatment of Martensitic Stainless Steel Castings
Martensitic stainless steel refers to a type of stainless steel whose microstructure is mainly martensite. The chromium content of martensitic stainless steel is in the range of 12% - 18%, and its main alloying elements are iron, chromium, nickel and carbon. Martensitic ...Read more -
Heat Treatment of Wear (Abrasion) Resistant Steel Castings
Wear-resistant (or abrasion-resistant) cast steel refers to cast steel with good wear resistance. According to chemical composition, it is divided into non-alloy, low-alloy and alloy wear-resistant cast steel. There are many types of wear-resistant steel, which can be ro...Read more -
Heat Treatment of Medium and Low Alloy Steel Castings
Medium and low alloy steels are a big group of alloy steels with alloying elements (mainly chemical elements such as silicon, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, copper and vanadium) content of less than 8%. Medium and low alloy steel castings have good hardenabilit...Read more -
The Heat Treatment of Carbon Steel Castings
The heat treatment methods usually used for carbon steel castings are: annealing, normalizing or normalizing + tempering. The influence of these three heat treatment methods on the mechanical properties of cast carbon steel is shown in the figure below. The ...Read more
