-
1. Raw materials:
According to client requirements for crane wheel, proper raw material will be prepared.
-
2. Steel testing:
Before production, chemical composition & chemical composition of raw materials is carried out.
-
3. Steel marking and blanking:
Raw material is cut into certain sizes and weights accordingly.
-
4. Heating (including tempering):
Raw materials is heated with temperature necessary.
-
5. Forging:
With complete forging equipment, material temperature and forging process is monitored in real time.
-
6. Forging inspection:
Preliminary inspection for forging blanks–mainly appearance and size inspection. Defects like cracks are not allowed. Margin of blanks is qualified.
-
7. Heat preservation and normalizing after forging:
Refining crystal grains, uniform organization, and eliminate internal stress. Improve defects: widmanstatten, coarse grains and other overheating defects and banded structure. Prepare for the final heat treatment.
-
8. Rough machining:
Rough machining with finishing allowance.
9. Final Heat treatment:
Normalizing, quenching and tempering, quenching–Comprehensive process to improve internal structure and mechanical properties.
Heating forging to a certain temperature, holding for certain time, cooling down at predetermined speed.
This process can eliminate internal stress, prevent deformation during machining, and adjust hardness to facilitate cutting.
-
10. Finishing machining:
By CNC machining center, dimensional accuracy and smoothness of the products are fully achieved according to production drawing.
-
11. Product appearance inspection:
Carry out Ultrasonic flaw detection (UT), Magnetic particle flaw detection (MT), Hardness inspection, and Carburization inspection.
-
12. Mechanical performance test:
Mechanical properties of forgings–yield, tensile, impact, and metal equivalence tests.
-
13. Surface treatment and packaging:
After quality inspection, anti-rust spray paint will be applied before packing and shipment.
-
14. Loading and delivery:
With proper package for shipping, finished products are ready for shipping in warehouse.
