Product machining

The machining process for stainless steel castings involves multiple steps, from casting to the final finished product. The following is the general machining process of stainless steel castings and the equipment that may be used:

Raw material preparation:

Make sure to use high-quality stainless steel materials that meet design requirements and relevant standards.

Casting:

Stainless steel is melted and cast into the desired casting shape using casting equipment such as sand casting, lost foam casting, or other casting methods.

Removing slag and deburring:

Use vibration equipment or other slag removal tools to remove slag from the surface of the casting and remove possible burrs.

Heat treatment (optional):

For special requirements, heat treatment is performed to improve the hardness, strength and other properties of the material.

roughing:

Lathes, milling machines, drill presses and other equipment are used to rough-machin the castings in preparation for the next step of fine machining.

Welding (if required):

Carry out welding operations on the parts that need to be assembled. Use common welding methods such as arc welding, TIG welding.

Precision Machining:

CNC machine tools, such as CNC milling machines, CNC lathes, etc., are used to precision machine castings to ensure dimensional accuracy and surface quality.

Surface treatment:

Carry out surface treatment, such as polishing, sandblasting, pickling, etc., to improve the appearance and surface quality of stainless steel castings.

Assembly (if required):

If there are multiple parts that need to be assembled, perform assembly operations.

Quality Inspection:

Use various testing equipment, such as three-dimensional coordinate measuring machines, hardness testers, ultrasonic detectors, etc., to conduct quality testing on machined stainless steel castings.

Packaging and leaving the factory:

The finished products are packaged and final factory inspection is performed to ensure that the products meet customer requirements and standards.

Common machining equipment includes:

CNC milling machine: used for flat and contour machining of castings.

CNC lathe: used for processing outer circles and inner holes of castings.

Grinding machine: used for precision grinding of stainless steel castings to improve surface quality.

Laser cutting machine: used to cut stainless steel plates or other flat materials.

Welding equipment: including arc welding machines, TIG welding machines, etc., used for welding operations of stainless steel castings.

When machining stainless steel castings, it is necessary to select appropriate equipment and processes based on specific product requirements, material properties and relevant standards.
