Application of Aluminothermic Welding of Rails on Crane Rails

Exothermic welding was founded at the end of the 19th century when H. Goldschmidt discovered aluminum powder and metal oxides can be caused by an external heat source to start an exothermic reaction, and once the reaction can continue by itself, the general formula of this reaction is:

metal oxide + aluminum (powder) → alumina + metal + thermal energy

Exothermic welding can mainly weld such as pure copper, brass, bronze, red copper, copper-clad steel, pure iron, stainless steel, wrought iron, galvanized steel, cast iron, etc.

 

Aluminothermic Welding of Rails on Crane Rails

 

Today, let's discuss the application of aluminothermic welding on crane rails.

 

Usefully, The crane is a double-girder structure, the crane rails run on the tracks of the main girder bridge. The rails of the main beams designed in China are generally mechanically in segmented and gaped connection, In the other words, they are ground or processed at the interface according to the length of the supply, they are formed by close joints.

The rail welding method, until now, there are mainly adopted gas pressure welding, contact resistance welding, manual arc welding, and aluminothermic welding. 

A few days ago, one of my customers from Malaysia ask us to support technology to upgrade the arc welding machine. Actually, arc welding quality is unstable, the serious defect such as slag and porosity can directly cause a break of welded rail. That’s why the Chinese market directly eliminates the welding method of arc welding.

Aluminothermic welding is applied to mine cranes and gantry tracks in various factories. The crane rails such as QU70, QU80, QU100, QU120, A100, A120, CR73, etc.

This aluminothermic welding process is characterized by simple equipment, convenient operation, high efficiency, good adaptability to working conditions, and stable quality. The fact that the welded railhead does not need to be treated, and the quality control of the entire welding process is performed by the fixed parameters of preheating time, oxygen flow, and liquefied gas pressure, which is easy for operators, will not be affected by other factors. The whole welding process of a single railhead is around 1 hour, which saves time and labor compared with other welding methods.

Benefits of Using Body Lotions

图片
You should never neglect your body care and we recommend using a body lotion.   Many women tend to follow a multi-step facial skincare routine, however, the opposite is true for our bodies, which we often neglect - this leads to problems such as dryness, cellulite and even wrinkles, and we should pay more attention to  body care .     Body Lotion Why and how does dry skin happen? There are a range of reasons why your skin may be prone to dryness.   In the winter.  Your skin is especially prone to dryness in the winter months. The cooler months - and the cold air and wind that come with them - can dry out your skin. In addition, enjoying hot showers and/or heaters can also cause dry skin. That's because they remove moisture from your skin, making it dry and saggy.   In the summer.  It's not just the cold that can dry out your skin. Summer often brings some unwanted dryness too! High temperatures, UV rays and frequent showers can dry out your skin. Dehydrating your skin.   Lifest

Difference Between Cold Rolled Steel and Hot Rolled Steel

图片
Both  cold rolled steel  and  hot rolled steel  are types of steel commonly used in the manufacture of various products.   However, There Are Several Key Differences Between These Two Types of Steel: Processing Methods One of the main differences between cold rolled steel and hot rolled steel is the way they are processed. Cold rolled steel is processed at room temperature, usually below its recrystallization temperature. It passes through a series of rolls that compress the steel and increase its strength and hardness. On the other hand, hot-rolled steel is processed at high temperatures, usually above its recrystallization temperature. It passes through the rolls at a lower pressure, which results in a less precise and consistent end product.   Mechanical Properties Another difference between these two types of steel is their mechanical properties. Cold-rolled steel is usually stronger and more durable than hot-rolled steel due to the high pressure and low temperature of the cold rol
