Case study of machine tool castings

Machine tool castings are one of the main methods for producing raw parts, especially for parts made of brittle metals or alloy materials (such as various cast iron parts, non-ferrous alloy machine tool castings, etc.), machine tool castings are almost a processing method. Compared with other processing methods, machine tool casting technology has the following characteristics:

1) Machine tool castings are not limited by metal materials, size, and weight. Machine tool casting materials can be various cast iron, cast steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy, zinc alloy, and various special alloy materials; Machine tool castings can be as small as a few grams and as large as hundreds of tons. The thickness of the machine tool casting wall can range from 0.5 millimeters to 1 meter; The length of machine tool casting can range from a few millimeters to over ten meters.

2) Machine tool castings can produce complex blanks of various shapes, especially suitable for producing parts with complex internal cavities, such as various boxes, cylinders, blades, impellers, etc.

3) The shape and size of machine tool castings can be very close to the parts, saving metal materials and cutting time.

4) Machine tool castings typically use a variety of raw materials, and the cost of machine tool castings is relatively low.

5) The machine tool casting process is flexible and has high productivity. It can be manually produced or mechanized.
