Key points of steel casting operation
During pouring, the environment around the mold to be cast must be checked. Before pouring, the steel grades of castings shall be aligned, the sandboxes to be poured shall be arranged in order, and the gates shall be arranged in a straight line to facilitate crane operation and pouring. The medium and small mold or […]
The process of CNC Machining
Mechanical machining encompasses a variety of techniques used to shape and finish workpieces. One common method is milling, where a rotating cutter removes material from the workpiece’s surface to create complex shapes or features. Turning, another widely used technique, involves rotating the workpiece while a cutting tool removes material to achieve cylindrical shapes. Grinding utilizes […]
Surface Roughness
At work, we are all too familiar with surface roughness! However, do you know why the common surface roughness is 0.8, 1.6, 3.2, 6.3, and 12.5? Did this question confuse you? Let’s take it slow… 01 The concept of surface roughness During the machining process of the parts, due to the plastic deformation […]
Salt spray test
The salt spray test is an environmental test that mainly uses the artificial simulated salt spray environmental conditions created by the salt spray test equipment to evaluate the corrosion resistance of products or metal materials. The products that need to be subjected to salt spray test are mainly some metal products, and the corrosion resistance […]
What is Rapid Prototyping?
Rapid prototyping is a product development method that utilizes turnkey manufacturing technologies to quickly produce multiple iterations of a component for testing and evaluation. In other words, it is a method of making parts as quickly as possible for hands-on reviews. 3D printing is most often chosen for rapid prototyping because of its affordable price […]
Wax mold making
Wax Treatment Process Operation Wax treatment process: (stand still in the bucket) stand for dehydration → (in addition to the water bucket) stirring evaporation dehydration → (stand still in the bucket) stand for decontamination Process parameters: a. The temperature of the standing barrel is 85-90℃. b. Standing time 6-8h. c. The stirring temperature of […]
Popular Finishes for Metal
Black Oxide Black oxide is a type of conversion coating for ferrous materials, such as steel and stainless steel, which blackens the top layer of the material. It can be used to reduce reflection and glare, as well as provide some additional corrosion resistance without affecting part dimensions. Electropolishing An electrochemical process that cleans steel […]
Wax Pattern Dressing Process
Process requirements: room temperature 24℃±3℃ operating procedure Before repairing the mold, it should be checked that the appearance of the wax mold is clear, the surface is smooth and smooth, there is no defect, the size meets the requirements, and there is no deformation. Repair mold 1. Carefully and gently scrape off the flash […]
What Is the Difference Between Iron and Steel?
The primary difference between iron and steel is that iron is a chemical element, while steel is an alloy mainly composed of iron and carbon. Iron in its pure form is soft and prone to rusting, whereas steel, with a small amount of carbon added, is harder, stronger, and less likely to rust. The addition […]
Casting and CNC machining: How to choose the right method?
The specific requirements of a part, such as its shape, size and geometry, affect the choice of manufacturing process. CNC machining and casting have advantages for different geometric shapes, so how do we decide which one to use? When determining the appropriate manufacturing method for a given part, several factors need to be considered: […]
