How thick should I buy for a cast iron platform? Most people don't know

Hebei Fengquan Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. is located in Botou City, Hebei Province, with convenient transportation and good location. It is a company engaged in casting, machining, and machine tool manufacturing. Lai Feng Quan Machinery has always been dedicated to the manufacturing of heavy industry equipment and is committed to becoming a large-scale cast iron manufacturer; One of the solution providers for measuring tools, granite measuring tools, large machine tools, and mechanical manufacturing solutions.

Cast iron platform; There are several aspects to the thickness, one is the thickness of the cast iron platform surface, and the other is the thickness of the side surface.

1、 Thickness of cast iron platform surface

When choosing a cast iron platform, the first thing to consider is the thickness of the platform surface. The thickness of the casting panel should not be too thin. The working surface is the place where it comes into contact during use. For example, when using a cast iron welding platform in welding work, it is inevitable to strike it. The force of the strike prevents us from using a welding platform panel that is too thin. The working surface should be designed with a reasonable thickness according to the load-bearing capacity, accuracy, slotting, and other conditions. The thickness of the workbench is crucial, as it not only needs to achieve the desired effect, but also cannot be too thick.

2、 Wall thickness of cast iron platform

When producing castings, if the casting wall thickness is too thin, defects such as insufficient casting and cold shut may occur. Usually, under casting conditions, each casting alloy has a small wall thickness that can fill the mold. When designing castings, the design wall thickness should not be less than the small wall thickness.

When designing a cast iron platform, there should be a reasonable wall thickness. Gray cast iron should have a suitable wall thickness for the platform casting under the specified casting method, which can not only improve the mechanical properties of the cast iron platform, but also prevent casting defects in the cast iron flat plate.

Under the casting conditions, the wall thickness of the cast iron platform castings that can be cast from different materials of gray cast iron is different. When the designed wall thickness is smaller than the small wall thickness of the cast iron platform, the cast iron platform castings are prone to defects such as insufficient casting and cold shut.

3. The increase in wall thickness of the cast iron platform is proportional. On the same cast iron platform, the thickness of the inner wall should be smaller than that of the outer wall, and the thickness of the ribs should be smaller than that of the connecting wall, in order to ensure uniform cooling speed of each part of the wall.

4. When the cast iron flat plate is subjected to a large load and requires high stiffness, reinforcement ribs can be placed in weak areas according to the nature and size of the load to avoid thick and large sections.

5. The wall thickness of the cast iron platform should be as uniform as possible. If the wall thickness of each part of the cast iron worktable differs too much, metal will accumulate at the thick wall, and during solidification shrinkage, shrinkage and porosity are likely to occur at the hot joint.
