Shanxi province from casting to casting into the province

Should rely on resources and energy advantages, strong brand advantage, to achieve industrial upgrading casting industry of our province. “Provincial Committee of the persons concerned by the letter and interview, has said. While” Shanxi foundry industry restructuring and rejuvenation plan “made it clear that by 2011 the annual production capacity controlled 800 million tons, sales income of 50 billion yuan, the formation of a group of highly competitive large enterprise groups and Unique casting industry cluster. the province formed a yearly sales income of 2 billion yuan more than three years, sales of 10 billion yuan, 10 500000000 yuan in sales revenue cast over key enterprises.

Foundry industry is an important part of equipment manufacturing, automotive, petrochemical, steel, electric power, shipbuilding, textile, equipment manufacturing and other pillar industries, based on national economic development and enhance the national defense forces play an important role. Casting a long history of our province, is the national important production base of casting, after years of adjustment of development, the province has formed high-strength cast iron, ductile iron, malleable iron, gray iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum-magnesium alloy and other materials in large supporting casting equipment manufacturing, automotive casting, basic mechanical precision castings, 3C casting, Pipe, etc. a full range of industrial system, nurtured Jincheng, Linfen, Yuncheng, Jinzhong, Luliang five high-precision casting industry cluster. But the province is not casting foundry province, and the foundry industry in our province compared to the same industry, there is low concentration of industry, business small and scattered, the quality of employees is not high, self-development and technological innovation capability poor, high-tech and too few high-value-added products, the level of poor working conditions and environmental protection issues.

To change this situation, adjust our province made five points:

And excellent supporting cast of heavy machinery and other large products. Develop supporting cast of heavy machinery, mining machinery and equipment for casting, water, electricity and petrochemical valves and marine stainless steel castings, Railway castings and fittings necessary equipment, wind power castings and other products.

Big automotive castings, building domestic infrastructure provides the most competitive production base of automobile castings. Big Yuncheng, Linfen, Jincheng, Taiyuan, Luliang automotive castings clusters, build domestic infrastructure provides the most competitive production base of automobile castings. Focus on developing the engine cylinder block, cylinder head, brake drums, wheel Yi, brakes, gear-housing, car axles and other automotive castings.

Strong cast pipe industry, building the largest production base of iron pipe. Precision Pipe focus on the development of urban construction, covers, supporting shaft, large diameter water supply and drainage of urban underground ductile iron pipe and fittings, all falling into the water and drainage series of ductile iron pipe and fittings.

Do fine based on mechanical, hydraulic, and assorted castings. Promote the use of international advanced manufacturing technology, supporting cast to do spinning and other products. Focus on developing generator cylinder block castings, castings and hydraulic parts, textile machinery and accessories supporting cast, reducer, engine body, machine tool accessories and other products.

Make special aluminum-magnesium alloy and other special castings. Relying on Foxconn, Jincheng to grace to magnesium, Taiyuan with Xiang, Minmetals Sheng Ying, Huaze Aluminum and Power and other enterprises to increase Chan Xueyan development and technological innovations, to make special aluminum-magnesium alloy castings specially in our province. Focus on the development of automobile, motorcycle, 3C products, aerospace, medical, military and other fields with aluminum-magnesium alloy castings.

The Jet JWBS-16 MK2 is intended for heavy work and has cast iron blade wheels, a super cast iron table which can tilt from -10° to +45°, a locking rip fence which is supported at the front and rear of the table and extends slightly beyond the cast iron table to give an excellent capacity on both sides of the blade. On the face of the rip fence is a point cutting attachment which is ideal for re-sawing. The mitre fence is ‘T’ slotted into the table for accuracy, safety and extended capacity. The blade is guided both above and below the table with micrometer-adjusted thrust and bearing rollers which give a positive support to the blade, resulting in a very good quality of cut and extended blade life. With fully interlocked doors, electro-mechanical motor brake and with easily accessible blade tension and tracking controls, this machine is for the professional workshop where an accurate bandsaw with good capacities can become a very popular machine with which to work. To move this machine around the workshop we recommend the purchase of the mobile base unit (Stock Number 708119). This additional base unit is easy to fit and allows the machine to be moved without fear of tipping the unit over or causing any damage to either the operator or the machine. NB A 20A supply is recommended when used with 240 volt supply. www.axminster.co.uk

Product Description
Each chapter of Professor Cambell’s new book Castings Practice will take a look at one of his 10 rules. It is to be expected that the Rules wil one day be taken as an outline or blueprint for an international specification on the methods for making reliable castings.

John Cambell has over two decades of experience in the casting industry and is the author of over 40 technical papers and patents. He has become well-known in the foundry industry as the originator of the Cosworth casting process, which is becoming accepted throughout the world as a new production process for the casting of cylinder heads and blocks. He is now Federal Mogul Professor of Casting Technology at the University of Birmingham.

* Must-follow rules of castings, from one of the world’s leading experts
* Companion volume to the renowned book ‘Castings’
* Accessible and direct, provides essential information for students of metallurgy and foundry professionals alike
