Carbon Metal Part Manufacturing
Especially in industrial applications requiring durability, high heat, and wear resistance, it is a widely used production process. Carbon steel and carbon alloy metals are preferred in many industries due to their strength, flexibility, and corrosion resistance. Carbon metal parts are used in a wide range of applications, from automotive to construction, from energy plants to machine production.
Carbon Metal Part Manufacturing Process
1. Raw Material Selection and Preparation
-
Carbon Steel and Alloy Metals: Materials with high carbon content increase durability and hardness properties.
-
Material Analysis: Raw materials undergo quality control tests. Carbon steel is enriched with alloy elements (manganese, silicon, nickel, etc.).
2. Cutting and Shaping
-
CNC Machining and Cutting: Carbon metal parts are processed precisely with CNC machines and laser cutting machines. This ensures that the parts are produced in the desired shape and size.
-
Cold Working or Hot Working: Cold or hot forming methods are applied to shape the material. High temperature facilitates shaping the material.
3. Welding and Joining
-
Welding: Welding methods are used to join carbon metals. This is a common method, especially in the production of large and complex parts.
-
Laser Welding and Arc Welding: Different welding methods increase the durability of carbon metal parts and strengthen the assembly of parts.
4. Heat Treatment
-
Tempering and Hardening: Carbon steel is hardened by heat treatment. This provides the metal with increased durability and strength.
-
Heavy Load Carrying Test: Carbon metals are tested under various temperature and pressure conditions to ensure that the parts are produced to withstand long-term use.
5. Surface Treatment and Coating
-
Coating and Surface Treatment: Carbon metal parts are subjected to surface treatments such as galvanizing, passivation, or chrome plating to make them resistant to corrosion.
-
Smooth Surface: Grinding or sanding processes are carried out to ensure that the parts have smooth surfaces.
6. Quality Control and Testing
-
Dimensional and Functional Tests: Each part undergoes quality control tests at the end of the production process. These tests guarantee the dimensional accuracy and functional performance of the product.
-
Leakage Tests and Wear Tests: Especially for parts requiring high performance, leakage tests and wear resistance tests are carried out.
