As machining complexities continue to evolve with customers looking at new ways to balance precision with productivity, the advent of hard part turning has emerged as an ideal alternative to grinding. Broadly, hard part turning refers to machining of parts with a hardness of above 45 HRC, although most frequently the process concerns hardness of 58 to 68 HRC. The workpiece materials involved include various hardened alloy steels, tool steels, case-hardened steels, high temperature alloys, nitride irons, hard chrome coated steels, and heat-treated powder metallurgical parts with application across end markets such as transportation, general engineering, energy, and aerospace. There…
Trailer & Railcar Tanks Manufacturing Tanks manufactured for road and rail transportation are designed to be the lightest possible to increase the payload. The direct consequence is the use of thinner and high-quality plates in carbon steel or stainless steel with high tensile strength. Therefore, the production target is to: reduce to the very minimum the ovality tolerance of the rolled shell and to ensure the same roundness is then obtained in the heads spun on the flanging machine. decrease manual fitting ensure the repeatability of the components. To obtain the above production objectives, it is important to invest in…
