1. Quenching tank body and its application
The quenching tank body is a mechanical tool specially used for quenching process, usually used to manufacture various types of metal products. Its main function is to heat the metal product to a certain temperature and then cool it quickly by immersing it in the tank to achieve the purpose of improving metal properties and increasing the hardness of metal workpieces. The material selection of the quenching tank body is very important, which is related to the life of the tank body and the quenching effect.
2. Material selection of quenching tank body
1. High-quality alloy steel
High-quality alloy steel is one of the main materials of the quenching tank body, with excellent mechanical properties, high strength, good wear resistance, and high temperature resistance. The quenching tank body of high-quality alloy steel has a long life and good wear resistance, and is suitable for occasions with high requirements for workpiece surface precision.
2. Tool steel
Tool steel is also one of the commonly used materials for quenching tank bodies. It has extremely high hardness and wear resistance, making the workpiece surface smoother, the hardness greatly improved, and the service life longer. It is suitable for heavy-load and high-temperature quenching operations, and is a strong guarantee for high-quality quenching effects.
3. Cast iron
The cost of cast iron quenching tank is low and easy to process, but compared with the other two materials, cast iron has lower hardness and strength, and its wear resistance is not as good as the other two. Therefore, it is suitable for some occasions where precision requirements are not high and service life requirements are not strict.
3. Applicable scenarios of different materials
According to the material characteristics of the quenching tank body, the following conclusions can be drawn:
1. High-quality alloy steel is suitable for situations where workpiece surface precision requirements are high and service life is long;
2. Tool steel is suitable for high-temperature and high-load quenching operations, and is suitable for situations where the hardness and life of the workpiece need to be improved;
3. Cast iron is suitable for some occasions where precision requirements are not high and service life requirements are not strict.
