Description
1. Material selection and application
Ductile iron is chosen as the material, and its comprehensive performance close to steel. It is 30%~100% stronger than gray cast iron and has plasticity (elongation 5%~18%). It is 2 to 3 times more shock-absorbing than steel, which is suitable for motor vibration conditions.

2. Production process
(1) Smelting and spheroidizing: Add pig iron, scrap steel, recycled materials and other raw materials according to the proportion. Add spheroidizing agent, and carry out Primary Inoculation and Late Inoculation.
(2) Molding: Use resin sand or lost foam mold, and place chromite sand or chilled iron in key locations (such as bearing seats) .
(3) Pouring: bottom pouring, reducing oxidation slag inclusions; strictly control the casting temperature, speed and the cooling temperature when unpacking to avoid white spots.
(4) Sand removal and cleaning.
(5) Heat treatment : Heat treatment is carried out according to different materials and requirements to improve the hardness, strength and wear-resistance.
3. Quality Control
(1) Material control
Raw materials are added strictly according to the ratio; and before each batch of casting, the composition is tested by spectral analysis.
(2) Melting and pouring
Strictly control the spheroidizing temperature and pouring temperature. Carry out double-stage inoculation.
(3)Monitoring and test
I. Heat treatment chart record: furnace front analyzer; infrared temperature measurement, temperature monitoring during the entire pouring process.
II. NDT: UT, MT
III. Appearance inspection: no cold shut, cracks, or sand (visual inspection& penetration inspection)
(4) Pre-delivery inspection
I. Full-Dimensional inspection
II. Dynamic balancing test (high-speed motor)
III. Pressure test
