Wuxi Hongming Casting Co., LTD. How long is the service life of machine tool castings today

‍

Machine tool casting refers to the machine tool parts produced by casting method. The advantages of machine tool castings are simple forming process, low cost, high production efficiency, and can effectively guarantee the service life of machine tools. Machine tool castings mainly include steel casting, cast iron parts, aluminum alloy parts, copper alloy parts, magnesium alloy parts, zinc alloy parts, cast titanium parts and other materials. According to the different casting process, machine tool castings can be divided into sand castings, precision casting, die casting, low pressure casting, high pressure casting and other types.

Factors affecting the service life of machine tool castings

The service life of machine tool castings is affected by many factors, including material quality, structural design, manufacturing process, use environment and other factors.

(1) Material quality

The material quality of machine tool castings is directly related to the stability and long-term use of machine tools. Castings with good material quality have high corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and strength, which can effectively improve the service life of the machine tool. Therefore, when selecting materials, the appropriate materials should be selected according to the use environment and working conditions of the machine tool.

(2) Structural design

The structural design of machine tool castings has an important influence on the overall performance of machine tools. Reasonable structural design can effectively improve the strength and stiffness of machine tool castings, thus improving the service life of machine tools. At the same time, the structural design can also reduce the gap between parts and effectively prevent wear and deformation.

(3) Manufacturing process

The quality of casting process is also directly related to the service life of machine tool castings. The surface quality and internal quality of castings with poor manufacturing process are not good, and cracks and fatigue fractures are easy to occur. Therefore, when manufacturing castings, advanced casting technology should be used to ensure that the surface of the casting is smooth and there is no crack inside.

(4) Use environment

The environmental impact of machine tool castings in the process of use is also relatively large. For example, high temperature, humidity and other environments will affect the casting. Therefore, when using the machine tool, it is necessary to keep the environment clean and avoid heavy pressure and impact on the machine tool castings.

Service life of machine tool castings

The service life of machine tool castings varies according to different casting materials, structural design, manufacturing process, use conditions and other factors. In the case of reasonable use and maintenance, the service life of machine tool castings can reach 3-5 years or even longer, and the service life of some castings can even reach more than 10 years.

In general, machine tool castings are one of the indispensable parts in the machine tool industry, and their service life is directly related to the stability and production efficiency of the entire machine tool. Therefore, when selecting and using machine tool castings, we need to pay attention to various factors such as casting materials, structural design, manufacturing process, and use environment, and do a good job of casting maintenance and maintenance to extend the service life of machine tool castings.
