Castings used for bridge

Heavy castings for bridge, including saddle-body and saddle-head castings, is large in volume and complex in structure. As the most important load-bearing members of suspension bridge their designed safety life generally over 100 years. The casting quality directly affects the load capacity and fatigue life of the bridge.

Application

As the most important load-bearing components for long-span suspension bridge the saddle-body and saddle-bow are crucial for the safety and the length of service life of the bridge since these components are subject to tremendous impact and variable loads.

Features

01.The company has a high-quality technical team. A perfect casting quality precaution system has been established. Mature technology, scientific management and lean operations are available in the company with the aid of the international advanced MAGMA simulation software.  

02.Resin sand moulding is adopted. And the first-grade standard is used for all the patterns. For all the key areas the chromite sand, imported from South Africa, is used. In addition, the domestic best-quality crude sand, resin curing agent, paint and other raw materials are used.  

03.The most real data have been mastered through summary, verification and optimization of a large amount of accumulation in the early stage. The casting product can be manufactured successfully just at one time thanks to the reliable, accurate and stable technical parameters.  

04.The company has complete inspection and testing means. A variety of inspection and test, for instance, UT (Ultrasonic Test), MT (Magnetic Particle Test) and RT (Radiographic Test) can be carried out to meet the user's requirement for internal quality.
